"So let’s say your news organization publishes a story about some guy
who’s arrested/charged in a crime. Three months later, he’s acquitted. But when
you Google his name, the original story about his arrest appears at the top. The
story about his acquittal is buried two pages down."
This is going to be a problem that is going to develop, news of a crime always gets more news-hits than a story about a persons crime being dismissed. With Google, the suggestion that the old stories could be deleted doesn't address the problem, when the cached copy will remain on Google's servers. Second if there is a question about which headline to believe regarding a crime, one declares the person is innocent and the other guilty - the average person will assume guilt.
