When can you stop worrying after sentencing about the media?

No press was in the courtroom but have read stories of press still getting hold of the case.

Those of you that have been in the media without a journalist actually in the courtroom, how long was it published? Thank you

Its not at court stage yet in my circumstance, but although no media were present some things I've read about on the forum include: virtual press reporting and police social media.

I've been told by the OIC that it is likely even if there are no press present they tend to release the picture, name, address, age and offence on the police social media this can be anwhere from immediately to 6 months after charging/sentencing (from what they've said).

We had no visible press in the court room but they must have been there remotely as the story was published on line by one of our local sources that same evening and in the local paper 9 days later.

My local rag has an article every so often where they list everyone whose been convicted at magistrates or crown court. Just lists name, age, street, town, offence and sentence. No other details unless it is newsworthy enough to get its own article.
