The guy would have to prove that they initiated such a deal. They called for comment, and he panicked and posted an apology. He called them back and asked they not post his information. CNN had intended to post a story, he offered an apology instead of posting the story. Because he offered the apology as "collateral" against posting their story, he was not coerced meaning they at anytime could still post the identity of the guy.
You can't blackmail yourself. Unless they proposed the deal then it's not blackmail. Based on the guy's comments it sounds like he offered it up to make it all go away.
