Oops!: College paper puts dean’s name under Osama’s photo

Kansas State Collegian
Kansas State student journalists say dean of student life Pat Bosco‘s name appeared below a picture of Osama bin Laden because of a mistake, not a prank. They explain: “The Collegian has templates for everything — the Opinion page, Sports, The Edge, and the classifieds page. There also is a template for mug shots. Before today, the default mug for every mug shot printed in the paper was a picture of Bosco, listed with his identification. Bosco’s mug was replaced with bin Laden’s but not the identification. The file was saved, converted to a PDF file, and sent to our prepress representatives at the Salina Journal to print. We missed it. It was a mistake.“
