The Chronicle and its reporters play a central role in ITV's new drama about the Raoul Moat manhunt.
Crime reporter Sophie Doughty worked with The Hunt for Raoul Moat screenwriter Kevin Sampson, as he created the character of Chronicle journalist Diane Barnwell, who is played by Sonya Cassidy.
While Diane is partly based on Sophie she also represents the large team of Chronicle reporters, and other North East journalists, who worked tirelessly to cover the manhunt, in July 2010.
