Meanwhile on the same topic Roy Greenslade asks why the editors involved in publishing the stories shouldn't face the sack

The four papers have published a series of libellous stories, numbering more than 100 in total. That is surely unprecedented. The papers' abject and swift capitulation after receiving a solicitor's letter is unprecedented (newspapers usually fight down to the wire). The publication by four papers of prominent front page apologies is unprecedented.
and adds that

The scale of the papers' culpability, continuing to carry grossly defamatory stories despite a legal warning, is also unprecedented. This sordid episode must be seen as a new low for British journalism, a landmark moment
