@EdwardsTips_ @Betfred Well done Craig, that’s fantastic

[Paul Foster @Paul_A_Foster]

@kirkkorner I know they have a job to do & it can’t be easy at times but this, along with other examples of court staff being generally unwelcoming or unaware of the public’s right to enter court, is still a big issue. If they want to open up the courts, it needs to be from the bottom up

Took a group of our @NCTJ_news outreach students to crown court and magistrates today to experience open justice in action. As well as watching a case, they were taken on a tour of the court and had a q&a with a judge

A group of Portsmouth journalism and media students enjoyed a tour around the Houses of Parliament to see how the wheels of democracy turn. Thank you to @StephenMorganMP for meeting us and fielding quite a diverse range of questions

@CharlieMoloney @JoshuaRozenberg Great persistence Charlie. This is indeed a danger area - hopefully it’ll set a precedent

Fantastic story here from my MA Journalism student, Harun. He is a Syrian freelance journalist who has connected directly with the advancing rebels. If any foreign newsdesks need support in their coverage, please hire him…

[Harun al-Aswad @harun_alaswad]

"Our fighters are now entering #Aleppo city to liberate it from Assad and Iranian mercenaries and to return it to the #Syrian revolution’s ranks,” rebel commander Lieutenant Colonel Hassan Abdul Ghani told @MiddleEastEye

Our MA Journalism student @harun_alaswad and his colleague put together this important piece on Syrian refugees fleeing Lebanon - it's well worth a read. https://t.co/2RFU0Ay86j

[UoP Journalism @UoP_Journalism]

Our MA and BA journalism students have produced some truly amazing features in the past year. From witches to dogs, a Costa Rican travel review and the saiga in Kazakhstan, we have seen a variety of great "hooks". Here's just a taster ...

💥 I’m looking for a Crime and Court Reporter at the @dailyecho in Southampton 💥

You’ll lead our coverage on all major crimes, and get a front row seat in court

Court reporting is one of the best jobs going in local newspapers - apply https://t.co/GN0T3fe2fJ

[Paul Foster @Paul_A_Foster]

@gazzy_uk Yes indeed, it happens to the public all the time and can be quite intimidating for anyone going to watch proceedings. It just becomes more publicised when it happens to journalists.

[Paul Foster @Paul_A_Foster]

Another instance where court staff have failed to uphold open justice. No-one should be asked why they need to be in court - it’s a public forum.
