The perils of sending sports reporters to cover court cases
Talksport investigated by AG over Redknapp reporting - Press Gazette Sports reporters covering the Harry Redknapp tax evasion case are alleged to have breached court orders on six separate occasions – and the Attorney General’s Office has confirmed investigations into two of those breaches. Last week we reported that a Guardian News and Media journalist was being investigated after tweeting the name of a juror on the first day of the trial. This led to the individual being discharged and a new juror being sworn in. The journalist is later alleged to have tweeted information about legal argument which was taking place in the absence of the jury.
