Washington Post Express Female Gender Symbol Mix-Up
Embarrassingly, Express has accidently used a male gender symbol instead of female on the cover of their paper, by The Washington Post. It was picked up on social media, where viewers spotted the mistake quickly.
Hours later, the company released an updated version of the cover with the ammended version.
They apologised in the Twitter post as shown below:
We made a mistake on our cover this morning and we’re very embarrassed. We erroneously used a male symbol instead of a female symbol.

...and the corrected version:
This is how the cover should have looked. We apologize for the mistake. pic.twitter.com/MKKOkHPV8T

Hopefully a corrected, re-printed version tomorrow! Everyone makes mistakes, right?
