The World Socialist Web Site is the only other place I found this definition, and they use median, which seems to make more sense.

Like a lot of people here, I'm not too impressed by mainstream economists, but the fact that the FT can't tell the difference between average and median, while the WSWS can, is something even I would never have expected.

This definition is a standard used by DIW for years (see my diary Martin referred to), and all the news articles in the FT, the WSWS reference that study. The FT apparently can't translate.
