Guardian Media commentator Roy Greenslade has a real go at the News of the World today accusing the paper of burying its apology to Kate McCann, for printing extracts from her diary without permission. He claims it was a mealy-mouthed apology.
But in his media column today in The Independent, Stephen Glover accuses The Guardian of the very same sin over its handling of an apology to Tesco. Glover says that even though it was carried on the front page, the Tesco apology was "tucked away" down page and turned to page 32. The truth is all newspapers hate to have to apologise and, perhaps with the exception of The Sun's front page grovel to Elton John, never give the apology the same prominence as the original story.
