You rather give the story away when you discuss the existence of an injunction to prevent reporting that story.

Reporting the existence of an injunction I don't see a problem with, nor do I see a problem with specific injunctions, I do very much have a problem with widely encompassing injunctions. No place in a free society. Purely my opinion.
