Chasing down the criminals10/11/2024
Martin Brunt, long serving crime correspondent with Sky News, is “still a hack at heart”.
That was his metier as he told a Journalists’ Charity lunch at Edgbaston Golf Club in Birmingham how tricky it was to convert from newspapers to the world of television.
You faced “much more scrutiny”. Only a moment away from looking stupid.
Especially if, told by the bosses you appeared scruffy on air, somehow you “never got the grooming bit,” he joked.
That never mattered if you were good enough to break angles on appalling cases such as Fred and Rosemary West, the killing of Jill Dando, the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, the Soham murders … Martin covered them all in a career spanning 35 years. -
