The Guardian gag order story of today has demonstrated better than any recent news event how digital media / social media / TWITTER has completely changed the game in how we consume media and the types of stories we react to.
A great blog post on The Media Blog sums up why quite nicely.
Bravo to The Guardian for quick, decisive action against a disgusting legal move on the part of the despicable Trafigura and a law firm which will rue the day they entered this motion - Carter-Ruck.
Rumour has it Newsnight will be covering the story tonight - we'll be tuning in.
