‘This is your stock photo for a Jewish holiday?’ WGN apologizes for ‘offensive image’ accompanying Yom Kippur story

I wonder if anyone at @wgnnews knows what the stock photo represents. Journalists today don't seem to know history. pic.twitter.com/PYMzG00f9T

@shnysprmyz We realized it shortly after the image aired and apologized immediately on-air and online. We are truly sorry.

We are truly sorry for inadvertently using an offensive image in our Yom Kippur story. We apologize and deeply regret the error.

.@shnysprmyz @WGNNews More like the average newsroom intern just grabs the first google result for what they type. Such terrible habits.

@AdamBaldwin @WGNNews Do we need any further evidence of the epic failure that is America's public schools?
