Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also known as Tommy Robinson, has been jailed for contempt of court for his coverage of a sex abuse trial. Separately, journalist Isabel Oakeshott has grabbed headlines with her story about what the former British ambassador to the United States, Sir Kim Darroch, thought of Donald Trump, based on leaked secret diplomatic cables. So what is Tommy Robinson actually guilty of? And why does he get jail time, whilst the publication of diplomatic documents - and a potential breach of the Official Secrets Act - is celebrated?
We hear from media law trainer David Banks, award-winning Buzzfeed UK senior reporter Emily Dugan, The Sun columnist Trevor Kavanagh and BBC Home Affairs Correspondent Dominic Casciani.
