Can you sue the newspaper for malicious intent or emotional distress?

Yes but it is extremely difficult to prove libel because you have to prove actual malice was intended and that the newspaper knew the information was false but continued to publish it. Barely anyone wins libel cases because of the extremely high burden of proof on the plaintiff. A really interesting Supreme Court case in which many of the guidelines for libel and slander cases is New York Times v Sullivan... you may want to look it up.
