Reporting restrictions might not apply to bloggers

There is an interesting story from outlaw.com concerning blogging and reporting restrictions.(ht-Martin Stabe)

It reports on the case a boy said to have fathered a child at 12 years of age which has highlighted that bloggers might be able to escape reporting restrictions on sensitive court cases because they have not been informed of the restrictions.

There is no central database of reporting restrictions, so while newspapers are informed of restrictions, bloggers generally are not, opening a legal loophole for their possible publishing of restricted information.
