A Superinjunction That Gagged the Media
Press gagging order and Afghan data leak, ITV's new 'sharks and celebrities' format, and media coverage of the Tour de France.
A legal order known as a superinjunction prevented UK media from reporting a government data breach that exposed nearly 19,000 Afghans who had applied to relocate after the Taliban takeover. Larisa Brown, defence editor at The Times, recounts the legal constraints she faced and the broader implications for press freedom.
A new ITV format blends natural history with reality TV by placing celebrities in shark-infested waters. Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters was produced by Plimsoll Productions. Creative Director Andrea Jackson outlines the development process.

Rouleur journalist Rachel Jary reports from Toulouse on life inside the media zone, while Chris Boardman - Olympic gold medallist, commentator and now England's active travel commissioner - reflects on how cycling is covered and the visibility challenges it faces.
