Clip description

Journalist Chris 'Crusher’ Nichols went to jail for four months for 'contempt of court’ after refusing to reveal his information source. Nichols is regarded as one of Australia’s more aggressive journalists, earning his nickname when a woman crushed his foot in her door as he attempted to enter her premises without permission.
