Every day, IRN's reporters make direct phone contact with commerical radio newsrooms around the UK. We feel it's vital we're in touch with your agenda. A good example of why this really works is the case of the fake schoolboy in Portsmouth.
On Tuesday, 22-year-old James Chester was jailed for having sex with a thirteen-year-old, having posed as a young teenager. We already knew there was big interest in the story - so when it broke we made it a priority to bring you the best audio first.
At 1400, on IRN you heard the victim's mother - her voice disguised. Sky News Radio ran copy. Thanks to the news team at Wave, we then got hold of the police. Later we spoke to a child welfare expert. All our audio was in QUALITY.
Between 1400 and 1800 we sent out five clips. Radio 2 ran no more than copy all day, and the daytime TV news programmes didn't run the story at all.
