Metro fixes problem with Internet email notification

Old news releases mistakenly sent to subscribers Wednesday morning

Metro has fixed the problem it experienced earlier today (Wednesday, July 22) with its Internet email notification system for news releases.

As of 3 p.m. today, subscribers receiving emails sent from "METRO: Press Release" with the subject heading beginning with "Metro News" are receiving current news releases.

Email subscribers mistakenly received press releases dating back to 2003 because of a technical glitch and should disregard the Metro news release emails received this morning.

Metro apologizes for the inconvenience and confusion this may have caused.

Media contact for this news release: Cathy Asato or Lisa Farbstein at 202-962-1051.
