The world’s media descended on New York this week to churn out wall-to-wall coverage from the “trial of the century” where Sean “Diddy” Combs is in the dock for sex trafficking.
But legacy media journalists must jostle with true crime sleuths and podcasters for a coveted place inside the courthouse.
Resplendent in navy blue braces and a fedora, Sean Gunby prepares to go live to his 160,000 followers in his 1950s-esque garb.
“Yo, we live, we down here, Lower Manhattan, Puffy trial, we don’t never stop,” he begins, the federal courthouse towering behind him.
Usually the 56-year-old podcaster from New Jersey shares tips on keeping fit over 50 with his followers, but this week he is among scores of influencers who have flocked to cover the criminal trial.
