Dan Wood at the Adver is covering the court case, though - yes? And his previous analysis of what could happen remains relevant now - little, if anything, has changed. There is a limited amount you can report on outside of court dates, for various reasons. The next one is due in the next month, I think. I'm sure Dan will be on top of it.
The Adver were also all over late payment to the emergency services.
In terms of not hearing a peep out of people. It can take months and months to get some stories into the public arena. And those stories can collapse if you get just one move wrong. There is so much in reporting/journalism that goes unseen. So many hours that go unnoticed. And often those unseen, unnoticed hours also go to waste. Sometimes, though, they make a major impact.
And yes, there is definitely a higher bar the media work to in terms of verification, sourcework, corroboration etc (which social media is rendering very old-fashioned, but imo remains v important). Our libel laws in the UK are stricter than most, and that is a difficult obstacle to get around for publishers.
I suppose regarding the court case just an update to that last article would help fans. Has anyone investigated what this means for the club, it has been nearly a year now and i don't know if we can be impacted or not.
I honestly do not underestimate the work you guys do but i do think constant rumours do not help and think this is where you guys can really help.
Last week as trivial as it was is a good example, rumours of no hot water available that you rightfully pointed out was false.
This week alone i and many more fans have been told the following
Under16 scholars have all been released as can't afford to keep them
The Clem court case could lead to the club being chased for money etc
I just think overall it would help to know these things as the club will not tell us
