A photo of Canadian figure skater Kaetlyn Osmond featured on The Globe and Mail's front page on Monday is sparking outrage.
The Globe's public editor, Sylvia Stead, blasted the newspaper's decision to feature a photo of the 17-year-old Osmond, which shows the figure skater's crotch as she lifts her leg mid-twirl on the ice.
Stead wrote on Twitter:
"Photo on #globeandmail front today is not acceptable in my view & readers," she wrote.
The Globe's media reporter Steve LaDurantaye asked Osmond on Twitter what she thought of the photo. "I really like that picture," she responded online.
@sladurantaye I really like that picture :p
