Have papers published too much about arrested men?

The New Statesman's media commentator, Peter Wilby, looks at how the press has dealt with "the atrocity that never was" by concentrating its fire on holidaying British politicians. He also notes how the Financial Times, "mindful of its readers' special interests" devoted a main headline to the impact on duty-free businesses. But Wilby's main point is about whether papers have too much to say about arrested people before they come to trial. (Via New Statesman Contents)
