Washington Post Express 'embarrassment' over gender symbol mix-up
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38518943 Version 0 of 1. The Washington Post Express has apologised for an "embarrassing" mix-up on its front cover. Leading with an article about a 150,000 strong women's rights march, the Express accidentally used a male symbol instead of a female symbol. Social media users were quick to spot the mistake. The paper - a free daily newspaper published by the Washington Post - was quick to apologise on its Twitter account. One commentator referred to the blunder as a "record for largest typo". "We made a mistake on our cover this morning and we're very embarrassed," the statement from the Washington Post Express read. "We erroneously used a male symbol instead of a female symbol." It also released an image of how the cover should have appeared. Written by Chris Bell, UGC & Social News team |
