AP reporter Sam Metz and photographer Rick Bowmer’s daily, all-format coverage of the Gwyneth Paltrow ski collision trial in Utah from the courtroom in the mountain resort town of Park City put us ahead of competitors and became one of the most-read stories of the week.
Detailed and comprehensive planning set up the AP to excel in coverage of Gwyneth Paltrow’s trial to provide customers with live video, pool photos and fast and thorough text stories each day from the hearings.
As the only major national print outlet in court to cover the trial, AP’s coverage has stood out in reporting detail, grasp of the inner workings of the trial and broader themes the case is illustrating.
Countless outlets including the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times have been using AP’s coverage on their websites.
