Care home Panorama reporter arrested
The Panorama journalist, Arifa Farooq who conducted an undercover investigation of the care home system aired earlier this year is reported to have been arrested. Initial reports suggest that a complaint was made about her actions to seek employment using a false identity.
The independent outlines concerns about press freedoms and the role of investigative journalism if the case against the journalist proceeds.
The CPS has decided not to pursue this case: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/aug/27/arifa-farooq-bbc-procurator-fiscal
