If a news agency publishes that a person caused a death while committing a crime and they did not commit the crime or cause the accident is it libel?

If the news agency writes in a newspaper that "person X caused the death of person Y under circumstance A", stated as fact, then this can be claimed as libel. If it is spoken on television instead of written in a newspaper then it is not libel, but rather slander.
If it is instead rendered as "authorities allege that person X caused the death of person Y under circumstance A", then it is neither. This is a statement of opinion.
News agencies have people on staff whose sole job is to edit news releases so that they cannot reasonably be interpreted as defamation. They are called, interestingly enough, libel editors.

I've got a feeling there is more to this than the question states.
