Local Sites Report Direct From US Court

Two journalists from local newspapers have travelled to the US in order to file the latest news from a high-profile murder trial.

The Nottingham Evening Post and Worksop Guardian have reporters posted in Boston to provide regular updates online from the trial of Briton Neil Entwistle.

Holdthefrontpage.co.uk reports that Kate Skelton is sending audio, picture and text content to the Post’s website using a “sophisticated mobile phone”.

Meanwhile, Debbie Lockett is covering the trial for the Worksop Guardian and has posted a series of audio, video and text pieces.

“I wanted our own take on the trial and felt it was important that our readers were aware we are covering this from our own perspective, rather than taking a national feed,” said Guardian editor George Robinson.

He added: “Also, the priority is to get this on our website, and filed reports from our own reporter out there have more value to our readers.”
