Hillsborough: Kelvin MacKenzie offers 'profuse apologies to the people of Liverpool' It has taken more than two decades, 400,000 documents and a two-year inquiry to discover to my horror that it would have been far more accurate had I written the headline The Lies rather than The Truth. I published in good faith and I am sorry that it was so wrong. Trevor Hicks, who chairs the Hillsborough Family Support Group, rejected Mr MacKenzie's apology as "too little, too late," calling him "lowlife, clever lowlife, but lowlife." This document, released today by the panel, is the original Hillsborough story filed by White's news agency which was used by the Sun and other newspapers. Whites (PDF) Whites (Text) White's, the Sheffield news agency, said in a statement: "Several reporters from this agency had some involvement in covering the Hillsborough tragedy and the aftermath. In common with many other journalists, reporters from this agency spoke to the then Sheffield Hallam MP Irvine Patnick. A senior reporter, who has since died, and with long-standing police connections, also spoke to senior officers. As result, as a responsible and reputable agency, we did report the allegations to all the national newspapers and media outlets. The agency had no control over how the allegations were presented and were shocked by the way the story was presented by the Sun. Other newspapers reported the allegations in a different way. We welcome the publication of all documents relating to the Hillsborough tragedy and hope it brings some measure of closure for those affected. We have no further comment to make.
