AP Swaps Out Post After Wrong State Icon Slips Through
The Associated Press replaced one of its posts after a state icon in the original didn't match. The outlet flagged the swap itself, noting the earlier version carried the wrong symbol. No other details were shared, and the corrected post now stands in its place.
The Associated Press pulled a post and put a new one in its place after the original ran with the wrong state icon. The outlet confirmed the swap in a note attached to the replacement, saying the earlier version simply had the wrong symbol.
That's the whole disclosure. AP didn't say which state, which post or what the icon was meant to show — just that the first version got it wrong and the current one fixes it.
Corrections like this are routine for wire services, which push stories to hundreds of newsrooms at once. A bad graphic detail can replicate fast, so outlets typically kill the flawed version and reissue rather than let it travel.
For readers who saw the original, AP's note is the signal that the version now live is the one to trust. Anyone who already grabbed the earlier post should swap it out.
