How the Huw Edwards story shifted over six days - and why serious questions remain for both the Sun and BBC News
One week on from the Sun's first allegations about Huw Edwards, there are still major questions and unresolved details about the six chaotic days of claim and counter-claim.
The media faced an almighty balancing act between privacy and the public interest in reporting claims of serious wrongdoing. BBC News examined more than 40 online stories, as well as print editions of the Sun and other papers, to look at how the media - including the BBC itself - handled the most complex aspects of the story.The paper said that a high-profile BBC presenter had given a young person "more than £35,000 since they were 17 in return for sordid images".
It is worth saying Edwards has not yet addressed this, or any of the further claims that emerged during the past week.
