We're back, with Season Three of the podcast. The crew look at whether The Sun was right to publish its story this week about a tragedy in Ben Stokes' family, even though it happened before he was born. MMU journalism student Daniel Davies describes his first day as a court reporter covering a live, high-profile case. And we speak to Sally Reardon and Marcus Keppel-Palmer from University of the West of England on their research into dwindling coverage of magistrates courts across England and Wales.

They have also written about their research in Press Gazette, here:
