The Associated Press held town halls and issued multiple apologies after it cropped an African climate activist out of a photo, which led to questions about racism.
The problematic photo emerged late last week, when a photographer representing the outlet at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, took a photo of five climate activists, including both Swedish teen Greta Thunberg and Ugandan Vanessa Nakate. Prior to disseminating the photo, an editor cropped Nakate out, leaving four white women standing in front of a scenic mountain background.
