In an ideal world, there would be no need for a press ombudsman, but because all media is run by humans, who, sometimes, regrettably, make mistakes, then such an agency is appropriate and entirely welcome. All newspapers, including this one, that support the ombudsman’s role and office recognise that to err is human — and more often than not a life lesson, too.
