In the aftermath of the\u00a0March for Our Lives<\/a>\u00a0that took place in Washington, D.C., and across the country, NBC News erroneously reported on social media the number of marchers was almost\u00a01 million. The true number, however, was significantly lower.<\/p>\n

Initially,\u00a0NBC News\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0there were an estimated 800,000 people who registered to vote at the march on Saturday\u00a0but then issued a \u201ccorrection,\u201d saying 800,000 is the number of people who participated, which is what the March for Our Lives organizers claimed the number to be in the nation’s capital:<\/p>\n

Correction: The number of participants at the #MarchForOurLives<\/a> event in DC is estimated at 800,000, but not 800,000 registering to vote.<\/p>\n
