BBC News presenter Jon Sopel has fronted some of the BBC's biggest breaking news stories, both at home and abroad.
In July 2010, he was sent to the small town of Rothbury in Northumberland to cover a police hunt for a suspected killer, Raoul Moat. In this CoJo News Debrief, Jon talks about how this local story was catapulted into the media spotlight and how he handled working with the news team in that area.
Of the criticism levelled at Jon and the wider media for what was considered intrusive coverage, he is unrepentant: "... what was critical was to somehow try and get first-hand testimony from people who could actually see with their own eyes that Raoul Moat was cornered ..."
CoJo News Debrief is an ongoing series of conversations with journalists about the back story of their own news reports. A previous film in this series is CoJo News Debrief with Nick Robinson.
