The Trial

Cameras in court is the theme of chapter 5. I explore the gradual developments towards more audio and video coverage, including the filming of sentencing remarks and recent successful podcasts, such as @thetrialpod. 🎥🎙️

@rlwjones @routledgebooks @SalfordUni @SalfordUniNews @UoSJournalism @JResearchNews @BJTC_UK @NCTJ_news @TheAJEUK @ProlificNorth @pressgazette @journalism_news Fantastic to see a new book about court reporting reflecting how new formats like podcasts can play a vital role. @lizhull @DBanksy @MarkHannaMedia @PollyRippon

My book Reporting the Courts is out this week, published by @routledgebooks. It’s full of new research into the past, present and future of how the media covers the courts in the UK. Let's dive in! 🧵

BREAKING: British soldier and prison escapee Daniel Khalife had been found guilty of spying for Iran and a terror offence by a jury at Woolwich Crown Court @thetrialpod

@CfcLoulou @lizhull @MailOnline It’s not compulsory.

@lizhull @thetrialpod @MailOnline Great, can’t wait to listen to another episode of your biased podcast!

My report from yesterday at the #ThirlwallInquiry…look out for a special extra episode of @thetrialpod later today Lucy Letby's parents 'wanted doctors who raised suspicions sacked' dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1… via @MailOnline

The jury in the trial of Daniel Khalife have retired to consider their verdicts @thetrialpod

This is absolutely, wildly, unexpected. A massive thanks to all at @UoSJournalism and my mentor Caroline for her guidance. Such a lovely surprise 🙌

If national newspaper published any of the ridiculous rumours about the Southport killings, they would face a massive fine - £50k-£100k. Because it’s idiots on social media there seems to be an attitude of ignoring them so as not to draw attention.

Speculation about Southport case continues despite the many warnings that it’s (1) against the law & (2) liable to prejudice the case Every comment & online post is undoubtedly collected by lawyers to make the case that the accused cannot have a fair trial Is that what you want?

So I’ve never written a story about myself. But I broke the rule to show how, despite warm words about change, police still fail women reporting sexually motivated crimes. Here’s my story of the 2 yr battle to get my offender convicted. TLDR: Don’t give up bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Our episode today after a busy week at the inquiry in Liverpool. This one focuses on Dr Ravi Jayaram and also on the two reviewers who looked into the baby deaths on behalf of senior managers. One now admits she was used. The other says she was misled. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

New episode from the Trial of Daniel Khalife. “I’m Guilty.” podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

Her evidence comes after another reviewer called Sue Eardley told the inquiry Ian Harvey used her to try to prove the consultants were wrong about Lucy Letby. Our special episode will be out tmrw from Liverpool Town Hall.

Consultant neonatologist Jane Hawdon has told the Thirlwall inquiry she was misled by Medical Director Ian Harvey and she wasn’t told vital information. She now says the deaths of Babies C, D and E could NOT be medically explained as her original report stated.
