BBC gaffe

IN Media Watch Briefs | 11/09/2013

In a bizarre mix-up for an organisation like the BBC, its business report on Sept 10 showed the story of a woman entrepreneur who was breaking the male monopoly in auto repair works. The story is obviously from Africa, possibly from Dakar, Senegal. The anchor however identified it as a story from Dhaka, Bangladesh. It ran in full, but the error was neither acknowledged nor corrected.
