The Hillsborough Disaster coverage

The Hillsborough Disaster occurred on April 15, 1989, during an FA Cup semi-final match at Sheffield Wednesday's stadium, where a human crush caused the deaths of 96 fans due to overcrowding and poor crowd control. Coverage initially misrepresented the event, blaming supporters and downplaying systemic failures. Over time, investigations revealed police mismanagement and failures in stadium safety standards. The incident led to significant changes in football safety regulations, including the removal of standing terraces and improved crowd management, aiming to prevent such tragedies from happening again.
