At some stage, I hope to write the intimate story of a Sun reporter who has been cleared by a jury on charges following Operation Elveden. It might change the perception of those who confuse hacking with the paying of public officials. There is an enormous difference.
But I am glad to see that Press Gazette’s editor, Dominic Ponsford, has now interviewed another Sun reporter, John Troup, who was similarly found not guilty by a jury of a charge that, to be frank, would be regarded as laughable if its consequences were not so serious.
It also happens to be an indictment of Rupert Murdoch’s flawed Management and Standards Committee (MSC), which supplied the flimsy information on which Troup was arrested and charged.
