Ben Roberts-Smith and four key witnesses were not honest or reliable, judge says in full verdict
theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jun/05/ben-roberts-smith-and-four-key-witnesses-were-not-honest-or-reliable-judge-says-in-full-verdict
Quick Glance: Inconsistent Media Coverage of Roberts-Smith Despite Extensive Attention
- Australia's domestic media provided more intense coverage, making it perhaps the biggest news event of the year.
- However, the coverage was less uniform in a bitterly divided media landscape, likely due to Roberts-Smith's employment at Seven and financial backing by owner Kerry Stokes.
- News Corp gave the defamation case front-page treatment across the country, despite previously publishing softer stories on Roberts-Smith.
- Seven West Media Group, which employed Roberts-Smith throughout the trial and is controlled by financial backer Kerry Stokes, took a more muted approach.
