Russell Brand goes on trial to face rape and sexual assault charges

British actor Russell Brand​ has appeared in a London court for the start of his trial on rape and sexual assault charges.

Channel 4 News

What the coverage shows

All five outlets converge on the trial opening in London and on Brand appearing in court, with Associated Press, CBS News and South China Morning Post using straightforward trial-start formulations. The New York Times is the only outlet to note that he has pleaded not guilty. Channel 4 News is the only source in this set to add separate podcast items about his rise to fame and public image.
