ATHENS — The student newspaper at Ohio University is getting some social media love it doesn’t really deserve.
We’ll explain: The Post of Ohio University in Athens has the Twitter handle @ThePost , which some people have assumed belongs to “The Post” movie.
Steven Spielberg’s real-life 1970s drama about The Washington Post this week was nominated for the best picture Oscar, while Meryl Streep earned her 21st best actress nomination.
But some messages meant for the film “The Post” have gone to the Ohio University Post’s account.
Besides a 20th Century Fox congrats for Streep, there have been fan messages and promos for TV appearances and movie showings including at theaters in England.
The Post’s social media director blogged this week about “numerous compliments for the great work we’ve done, which we actually haven’t.”
For those wishing to send a message to the film, the handle is @ThePostMovie.
