Tuesday's Newsnight credits acknowledge Ian Katz blunder
Newsnight mocked editor Ian Katz’s Twitter gaffe, where he called guest Rachel Reeves MP ‘snoring boring’, with ‘#fail’ following the editor’s name in the show’s Tuesday night credits.
Gaffe: Katz, a regular tweeter confused private messaging and a tweet
Katz, who accidently tweeted the message to his 26,000 followers , is having a rocky second week in the Newsnight editor position after replacing Peter Rippon, who left the programme after failing to broadcast shows concerning Jimmy Savile.
Ms Reeves was being interviewed by Jeremy Paxman on Labour’s union links when the incident occurred.
