Tweeting from court is to be allowed after a ruling from the Lord Chief Justice for England and Wales. He said live text-based communication would be allowed as long as the judge believed it would not interfere with the administration of justice. Lord Judge’s ruling was prompted after journalists used Twitter at the bail hearing of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to give live updates. The interim guidance has immediate effect but a review will be conducted. The interim guidance covers the use of mobile, e-mail and social media such as Twitter, and internet-enabled laptops.
