Martin Brunt
Crime Correspondent, Sky News
Three decades covering “all shades of life” on the crime beat
Martin Brunt is crime correspondent for Sky News. He has been with the channel since its launch in 1989, spending the first five years as a general reporter before moving to his now-familiar role covering stories from grisly murders to acts of heroism. In this in-depth interview, Martin discusses how the relationship between the press and the police has changed over the last 30 years, describes how he balances reporting under court restrictions with the demands of live TV – and shares his sadness at the tragic and far-reaching consequences he has witnessed around the Madeleine McCann case.
