Blogger Wolf leaves jail after 224 days

Josh Wolf, the blogger who spent more than seven months in prison after refusing to hand over video footage he shot at a demonstration, has been freed after lawyers negotiated a compromise solution. Listen here to his explanation of the deal which led to him posting the uncut video on his website. Wolf, 24, was held in contempt by a federal judge last August for defying a grand jury subpoena. His 224-day jail term is the longest endured by a US journalist - but there has been an intense debate about whether he even qualifies to be called a journalist. (Via San Francisco Chronicle)
