How should The Age have handled their front page mistake yesterday?

The moment people at The Age discovered they had incorrectly identified a teenage boy in a photo on the front page of yesterday’s newspaper as a terror suspect they should have immediately recalled every copy from sale.

It is appalling the publisher allowed this dangerous and mistaken identification to circulate a moment longer.

The coverage of the story in The Age today is inadequate.
