Schapelle Media Circus

The expected parole of convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby has created a media circus in Bali.

It’s expected that details of her parole will be confirmed today, and that she could be released from prison sometime over the weekend or on Monday.

There has been a frenzy of media activity outside Kerobokan, with all major Radio, TV and Newspaper networks having people on the ground to cover the story.

One of the networks to cover it is Fairfax Radio Network, with 2UE sending reporter Derek Peterson to Bali to cover her release.

PD Clinton Maynard has told radioinfo: “For years we’ve paid a lot of attention to the Corby story.” He should know. When the case first broke, he was sent to Bali to report it for 2UE.

“I was in the courtroom in 2005 when she was sentenced to 20 years and was live on 2UE at the time and ever since we’ve covered the story… Derek is now on the ground and has been filing since the early hours of this morning. He’ll be at the jail when she’s released.”
