Hillsborough disaster "The Sun" Political Editor Tom Newton Dunn defended this decision, saying "I don't think it should all be about "The Sun" – it was not us who committed Hillsborough." Trevor Kavanagh, the political editor at the time of the Hillsborough disaster, said that he was "not sorry at all" about the reporting and supported his former boss Kelvin MacKenzie, claiming that "we were clearly misled about the events and the authorities, including the police, actively concealed the truth". In February 2017, Liverpool F.C. issued a ban on "The Sun" journalists from entering their grounds in response to the coverage of
Hillsborough disaster here. The American sports network ESPN, as part of its "30 for 30" series of sports films (under a new "Soccer Stories" subdivision), aired the documentary "Hillsborough" as a co-production with the BBC. Directed by Daniel Gordon, the 2-hour film chronicles the disaster, the investigations, and their lingering effects; it also included interviews with survivors, victims' relatives, police officers and investigators. "Hillsborough" aired the first time on 15 April 2014, the 25th anniversary of the disaster. The documentary was unable to be shown in Great Britain upon initial release due to the 2012 High Court inquest still being in progress.
