The trial of Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson, who are accused of " 'phone hacking" while at the News of the World, is widely reported in the Press.
The details of their personal relationship became public during the second day of their trial. Further salacious details, but of "hacked" (eavesdropped) telephone conversations, also risk being revealed in court.
The real question therefore is, how far can reports in the media be allowed to go which could "incriminate" the participants of eavesdropped conversations even when they are not on trial ?
When well known or other innocent people are "flirting" is this really important news for the media ?
Should the judges in this trial not warn media reporters to abstain from at least publishing the names of innocent people ?
