Further add to R.K.Nanda sir opinion, first you have to give notice to the Management of the News paper, claiming damages what ever you want.

Better to ignore such things if no practical damage is caused. If he suffers real loss, he can go ahead. If everybody goes filing defamation cases against the wrong news items, the judiciary will be burdened with avoidable litigation.
