Italian term or phrase: smentita
Come tradurre in inglese il termine "smentita" nel contesto giornalistico?

Esempio di frase: "è stato autore della smentita di una notizia di apertura" come potrebbe essere tradotta?

Ho vari dubbi... Deny?... Grazie.

Explanation:
A couple of additional possibilities if l'"autore della smentita" has done more than simply deny the "notizia". This would imply not just denying, but providing evidence to back up the denial.
