Barthsnotes | Peter Jukes Describes His Experiences with TabloidTroll

“So I’m now going to blog about @peterjukes & his family,” wrote Dennis Rice…

TabloidTroll wrote: “If @PeterJukes writes any shit on me in his book the gloves will really come off. Newsnight ex wife, business failures.” The fact the mother of my two children had been made a target was pretty disturbing.

UPDATE (January 2015): Peter Jukes’ book was originally published as a PDF in August 2014; it was subsequently revised and expanded for the print edition, which appeared in September. This blog entry has been updated to include extra material contained in the revised version, and to provide details of Rice’s complaint to IPSO.

The Kingston Defence: Sun journalists shopped by News Corp to avoid corporate charges

There will be much more to say about this in due course, as news trickles out from the rampantly under-reported Kingston Crown Court trial of the ‘Sun Six’: but it should be noted that evidence about hundreds of missing signed cash payments from former Sun editor Rebekah Brooks, as well as details of the various Memoranda of Understanding between the Met and the Management and Services Committee set up by News Corp in 2011 is being adduced by the defence teams at Kingston

There Chris Pharo, Sun’s former head of news,  former managing editor Graham Dudman, deputy news editor Ben O’Driscoll, picture editor John Edwards, and reporters Jamie Pyatt and John Troup are on trial. 

The line of their lawyers, reported also in the Guardian and Independent, is clear: Sun  journalists were “shopped’ to the police by the company, in order to avoid the threat of corporate charges. (See more from Court News below)

Meanwhile some breaking news from Jamie Pyatt’s police interview, read out in court today

Pyatt speaks of “being investigated by ourselves for something we’ve been told to do…They tell me what to do. I didn’t pay police officers

Pyatt police interview:contact with public officials, and payment to them, organised centrally through the news desk “I was told what to do”
