The media frenzy around Amanda Knox                                                                      Amanda Knox is reportedly contemplating TV and film offers                                                                                                                                            More from Torin

        Pub landlady wins TV football fight         
        Exports of British TV programmes rise         

                                                                       This round-up of   Wednesday's main media stories reports on a media frenzy - and an   apology - following the release of Amanda Knox.
The Daily Telegraph says   Amanda Knox is contemplating TV and film offers that could net her tens   of millions of dollars, as she returns home after four years in an   Italian jail.
It says: "The Knox family has hired a leading Seattle PR   firm, Gogerty Marriott, to handle bids which are expected to be as much   as $10 million (?6.5 million) for her first TV interview since she was   cleared of murdering Meredith Kercher. Before she makes up her mind,   Miss Knox wants to spend time at home with her family."
Press Gazette reports   that the Daily Mail has apologised and launched an internal inquiry   after mistakenly publishing a story on its website claiming Amanda Knox   had lost the appeal against her conviction for murdering Meredith   Kercher.
It says: "The same mistake was made on The Sun website, Sky   News and The Guardian's live blog, but the Mail appears to be the only   news outlet that ran a full-length article."
There are conflicting interpretations of the European Court victory of pub landlady Karen Murphy in the TV football case.
The Daily Mirror says   "a landlady yesterday struck a blow for hard-up pubs by winning a legal   fight to screen Premier League games cheaply via foreign satellite TV?   The ruling, which needs to be rubber-stamped by the High Court, could   see hundreds of pubs abandoning Sky Sports in favour of cheaper foreign   providers."
But the Independent says   "the judgment is not a giant-killing that will transform the way fans   watch games in British pubs. The court ruled that pubs should not be   able to show copyrighted material such as the Premier League graphics   and opening sequences without the authorisation of the league, which may   now insist on its logo being shown on broadcasts throughout matches."
In my analysis I explain   the ruling could lead to a major shake-up in the way TV rights have to   be sold in the European Union, not just by the Premier League, but by   Hollywood film studios and independent TV producers. But it's a   complicated ruling - and it's not a total victory for Karen Murphy. She   can now watch Premier League matches herself via the Greek service, but   it's not clear she can show them to her customers.
Hugh Grant has told the Guardian   that he warned George Osborne about the dangers of hiring the former   News of the World editor Andy Coulson. The paper says the actor "finds   it inconceivable that David Cameron did not know Coulson had overseen a   culture of phone hacking at the paper".
Several front pages run previews of the prime minister's closing speech to the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, as reported in the BBC's newspaper review.
