After weeks of arduous negotiations involving top corporate management at CBS, Bill Moyers told his colleagues at CBS News yesterday that he was, after all, cutting his professional ties with the network. Mr. Moyers, whose contract expired last Saturday, had said early this year that he was going to leave CBS and had entered agreements with the Public Broadcasting Service to set up his own production company and produce documentaries and other programs. Mr. Moyers's dissatisfaction with CBS News became public this fall and fed the atmosphere of turbulence that ultimately forced the resignation of Van Gordon Sauter as CBS News president in September.

The two daily newspapers here, rivals for years in an expensive war of survival, are now crusading against some internal villains: human error and printed mistakes. Both papers have recently assigned full-time editors to oversee corrections and placed daily corrections on the first page of the metropolitan news sections. On occasion they have printed corrections to correct their corrections. Each day readers are invited to call a 24-hour hot-line number to report errors in The Detroit Free Press; they can leave messages at night on an answering machine at The Detroit News. Lately, The Free Press has had as many as a dozen corrections in a single issue.
