All quiet in the BBC multimedia newsroom this morning. At 0900, on the Andrew Marr show, no mention of freedom for the Chandlers, released by Somali pirates after a year in captivity. Not a peep on the BBC News website, updated every minute of every day.
0640 GMT on CNN. Not long after on Sky. Updated on the Telegraph and Mail websites before 0900. Is the story in some way dubious ?
1500 Update: BBC World News Editor Jon Williams explains - there was a so-called "super injunction" which said news of the couple couldn't be broadcast until a) they were out of Somalia and b) they were in the custody of Foreign Office officials. It looks like US broadcasters CNN and Fox used the story first - does that invalidate a UK injunction ?
1550 Sky News' Mark Stone interprets the injunction rather differently.
