Court Report
On Thursday the 25th of February 2010 NICKY Harley a court journalist came in and talked to us about her journalist life experience in courts. Through the talk we realised how dangerous sometimes, interesting the other times and vital at all the times the job that she is doing.
Mrs Harley started the talk with a brief history of her work as journalist, as how she started the first time in reporting from the crown court in Bradford in till she moved to the crown court in Hull, reporting for Hull Daily Mail.
In the crown court there are many cases, and as many they are as different they are, and every day, and as a journalist her job inside the court is taking written notes (not recorded) and here where the job gets difficult, writing or reporting a false note could lead the journalist into troubles, such as fine and loosing the job, which means that the reporter must write what they hear not what he or she imagines. She also mentioned the trust. Trust is very important between the court and the journalist and breaking this trust will always lead into a fine that goes up to thousands of pounds. Knowing your rights and responsibilities as a journalist in the crown court is done by a course set before starting the actual job, and then passing the law exam would enable you to report in courts.
She was asked about the internet growing and the growth of the social networks and what extents do they trust the content of these networks. She said; such networks are less likely to be trusted as news, but in some cases they could be used.
Nicky gave us examples of her previous stories, that she has reported and had been published, they some were terrifying, sad, and even some were suitable to be a film story, but in general all these stories has one theme which was the attraction style stories that makes you want to read them to the end.
Building ties is important, despite there is a danger, but it helps to write a balanced story, and she told us how she has experienced a dangerous drama of a criminal who has attempted to escape during the interview.
Carrying a previous knowledge about the case that you about to report is important for:
• Preparing the symbols and abbreviations.
• Following the events in sequence.
• Identifying the dark corners and where to put the concentration lights on whilst the case is going on.
