The Wall Street Journal has won a ruling allowing it to fully report on the Rebekah Brooks phone-hacking trial, without having to sign an undertaking that it will abide by reporting restrictions imposed by the judge.
This ruling raises the prospect of the New York-based financial newspaper, owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, reporting differently in the US and Asia in its print editions to its European edition, available in the UK, and the subsequent risk of this being picked up by the internet
