In an on-air acknowledgment that lasted roughly as long as his original Yom Kippur segment, Mr. Negovan made what he called a “major correction” and said that anchors were not able to see the symbol during the original broadcast. A Chicago TV station has apologized after it used an image of a star that the Nazis forced Jews to wear as the station aired a segment about Yom Kippur, the most solemn day in the Jewish year. Over his shoulder, viewers could see a graphic of a Star of David badge emblazoned with the German word “Jude,” or Jew, on striped material of the kind used in Nazi prisoner uniforms. pic.twitter.com/z7BNuvGybS — Marc Karlinsky (@MarcKarlinsky) September 23, 2015 
 
 In a statement posted online, WGN General Manager Greg Easterly and News Director Jennifer Lyons said the picture came from its image bank, and they "failed to recognize that the image was an offensive Nazi symbol." — WGN TV News (@WGNNews) September 23, 2015 
 
 "We are extremely embarrassed and we deeply apologize to our viewers and to the Jewish community for this mistake," the WGN statement said. Ignorance is not an excuse.” 
 
 The apology came the morning after Tom Negovan, an anchor with WGN-TV Chicago, read a 20-second description of the holiday.
– For a news report last night commemorating Yom Kippur, a Chicago TV station selected a Star of David as accompanying artwork—except someone picked the absolute worst one possible, USA Today reports. As the anchor talked about the holiday during the broadcast, a graphic appeared of a yellow star with the word "Jude" ("Jew" in German) against a blue-and-white-striped background, which resembled the badge Nazis used to separate Jewish people from the rest of society, the New York Times notes. About half an hour later came the station apology on Twitter: "We are truly sorry for inadvertently using an offensive image in our story. We apologize and deeply regret the error." The station's "extremely embarrassed" GM and news director also posted a statement online noting they "failed to recognize that the artwork we chose to accompany the story contained an offensive symbol" and that they'll be reviewing the graphics-selection process. "Ignorance is not an excuse," they wrote. (Hallmark had to yank "swastika" Hanukkah wrapping paper last year.)
