Because that's known as "getting it wrong". If you tell your readers nonsense, it's not much of an excuse to say "Oh, but a policeman told me so!" The newspaper reports went way beyond what the police said.

jno....."getting it wrong for the right reasons" and "getting it wrong for the wrong reasons" arr two different concepts and one "might" apologise for the latter.
Getting it wrong for the right reasons is so very very common in all aspects of life occurring day after day in all parts of the world.
What is it? One assesses the best evidence available, one basis the conclusions and actions based on one´s experience and then one makes a decision.
It might be the right decision or ultimately it may turn out to be the wrong decision....if the latter, then there is no need to apologise for your actions.

They`ll only apologise if he sues them and he probably doesn`t have the money for that. He`d then get a tiny 1 inch apology hidden in the corner of the page.
I think it was right to report someone had been arrested and it was right to arrest him while he was investigated but I don`t think they should publicise names until someone has been formally charged. Mud sticks.

Although the media did go over the top the facts still remain. He told other residents that he'd seen Jo with two people the night she disappeared. The residents informed the police. They interviewed him and he denied it. He's apparently a very intelligent man....and this is a murder inquiry not some petty crime. He has, at least partly, himself to blame.
