News Cameras in the Courtroom: A Free Press--Fair Trail Debate

by Bloomsbury Academic

Overview

This book is the first comprehensive analysis of the free press-fair trial debate over news cameras in the courtroom—one that discusses the issue from a historical, legal, and social scientific perspective. It incorporates the key aspects of the debate in one volume, examining witness privacy and protection, defendant reputation, the purported educational benefits of televising trials, the coverage of trials from an entertainment or voyeurisitic perspective, and whether any proposed benefits of televising trials are negated by potential negative costs to the participants involved or the audience in general.
