As mainstream media shies away from legal coverage, Joshua Rozenberg talks to Alex Aldridge about the 25 years under his belt that have made him the UK’s best-known legal commentator
“I have had the misfortune to have been the last full-time, legally-qualified legal correspondent employed by both the BBC and The Daily Telegraph,” wrote Joshua Rozenberg in his farewell article for Britain’s biggest-selling broadsheet, published at the end of 2009. “There is now less coverage and analysis of law, politics and other demanding topics in the mainstream media than there was even a decade ago… none of the stories and commentaries I have published on www.telegraph.co.uk/law since September 2008 has appeared in print. This is the last of them: The Telegraph has terminated my contract.”
