News in brief

The international governing body for football, FIFA, has announced its rules for press coverage, which include a ban on publishing digital images from games for one hour after the final whistle.
Printed newspapers will be largely unaffected. But publishers with internet operations are expected to refrain from using incoming live pictures - whether from agencies or staff photographers - until the embargo has passed. There are no provisions at all for publishing newspaper content on mobile telephones.


The Leicester Mercury has announced the launch of a new online sporting community, Mercuryallsports.
mercuryallsports.co.uk Mercuryallsports is owned and hosted by the newspaper, and brings together all non-professional sporting activity from Leicestershire under one portal, covering everything from grassroots football to premier league petanque. Clubs can share the latest news from their sport, appeal for help in finding new players, sponsors or sporting equipment, and follow a variety of useful sporting links. Users are also encouraged to post their own match reports, pictures and comments through online feedback forums.


Prize-winning novelist and music journalist Tim Lott gave a talk about his latest novel, 'The Seymour Tapes', in Beverley as part of the town’s Literature Festival.
Festival director John Clarke said: "It's a study in media hype, tabloid journalism, the cult of the self, autobiographical and confessional literature, Big Brother, the voyeuristic impulse - in fact its one of the most recognisable books you'll read this year."


South Wales Echo man Steve Tucker had made his debut for Cardiff City – not on the field, but in the centre pages of the team’s latest match programme.
The well-known City fan was picked as the latest “face in the crowd” and won himself a crate of beer, which he decided to raffle for charity.


Halifax Evening Courier readers are being given the chance to say whether the right man was hanged for the murder of schoolgirl Mary Hackett in 1953.
The whole case, including arguments for the prosecution and defence, have been published, to coincide with the publication of a new book on the tragedy.
