Cardinal George Pell suppression order: 36 journalists and companies to appear in court

Victorian prosecutors have asked court to find respondents guilty of contempt on the basis of ‘scandalising the court’.

The editors of the Herald Sun and the Age are among 36 journalists and media companies summonsed to appear next month in the supreme court of Victoria over alleged breaches of the George Pell suppression order.

The Melbourne newspaper editors Damon Johnston and Alex Lavelle and Sydney Morning Herald editor Lisa Davies, Daily Telegraph editor Ben English and Australian Financial Review editor Michael Stutchbury are all accused of contempt of court. Jail terms can be imposed on those found guilty of contempt.

Media companies Nine Entertainment, Macquarie Media (2GB), Allure (publishers of Business Insider), Mamamia and several newspapers owned by News Corp Australia are facing fines and costs if convicted.
