Readers of a newspaper in Australia were in for a shock when they stumbled upon two pages from another daily in the Opinion section of the paper.
Australia's The Daily Telegraph quickly took to Twitter to apologise for the embarassing publishing mix-up of two pages from its rival The Sydney Morning Herald but the damage was already done. The Telegraph is owned by Rupert Murdoch.
The Telegraph released a statement on Twitter later in the morning to clarify the mistake.
"Good morning readers, today @DailyTelegraph printed 2 pages from The Sydney Morning Herald in some editions," the tweet read.
"Both papers share the same printing facility in Sydney's west and the error happened during the production process.
"We apologise for any confusion this has caused." Reports said the newspapers were printed at the same facility since a deal was struck last year. The agreement was designed to save $15m in production costs.
However, some readers and journalists saw the funny side of the goof up. "No need to apologise," wrote The Sydney Morning Herald journalist Kate McClymont."Having some [Herald] pages is a reader bonus."
"Might have been someone's last day on the job," one Twitter user joked.
"Extreme cost cutting? From sharing printing facilities to now sharing [the] same newspaper," wrote another.
