Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 August 2020
Summary
Throughout this book we have looked at examples from prizewinning journalistic stories that were told with the help of legal sources. But we have not looked at stories that were not told. What about stories that were not told because the legal system held information back, stonewalling journalists? We usually get a peek at such counterfactuals in cases where the information eventually gets out, after being buried for a while.
