An Oregon TV station issues an apology after a Thursday segment in their
broadcast showed a racist image from the 1950s.
The station KGW asks its viewers to share Throwback Thursday, photos on
the company, social media platforms, the statement said. Throwback
Thursday refers to when social media users post old pictures of
themselves or other people from ranging from a few years ago to decades.
An image that was chosen by the station that appeared during the segment
on Feb. 15 showed children throwing balls at a sign that had a racial
slur.
“Despite our rigorous policy of thoroughly screening all content for
standards and accuracy before broadcast, we acknowledge our failure to
uphold our own standards in this instance,” KGW said in a statement
Friday. “We understand the profound hurt this image inflicted upon our
viewers and staff, particularly members of our Black community. To those
who were exposed to the image and were hurt by it, we offer our
sincerest apologies.”
In the statement KGW also said it has reevaluated its policies when
airing submitted content from social media and taking additional steps
to prevent this issue from happening in the future.
