The media and acquittal after retrials

    Relatively straight forward question, if for example someone (or a group) were convicted of something, then acquitted on a retrial is there any way that they can get various news websites to take down articles that they wrote about them after they were convicted? (like the way the papers tend to have stories calling people monsters on the front page or whatever after they are convicted)

    I know they wrote it in good faith and was not defamatory at the time but it hardly seems fair that articles demonising innocent people should remain online for all time when they were 100% innocent, especially the trash the tabloids print.
