BBC, Evening Standard and Getty Images apologise after embarrassing mix-up
Three leading British media outlets have been left embarrassed and facing accusations of racism after they mislabelled a series of photos of black female Labour MPs.
The Evening Standard blamed a wrongly captioned photo provided by Getty Images, the main supplier of editorial images to British news outlets. The BBC “sincerely apologised” for the mistake in a statement. “Sometimes we incorrectly identify MPs at the moment when they stand to speak. This error was immediately corrected on screen.”
