The employment law case involving one-time Herald on Sunday Assistant Editor Stephen Cook has highlighted the intense competition between the HoS and the Sunday Star-Times. The case has been before the court this past week, and the judgement is now reserved.
Between the information actually revealed in court and the rumours circulating about what is contained in some of the suppressed evidence, there have been a few wild stories floating about. A telescope to spy into the SST editor's office (a joke apparently), stealing stories (probably not a joke), deliberate rumour spreading about rival staff members - it's been all on.
I'm amazed the journos have time to do any work with all this carry on. And I'm equally amazed to hear they fight so bitterly when the stories both the papers feature seem so little worth fighting for!
