DIGITAL MEDIA WORLD IN THE COURTROOM. A CHALLENGE OR AN OBSTACLE FOR THE COURT PROCEEDINGS?
Original language description
The paper examines new challenges to justice and court openness. Court proceedings, with some legal exceptions, are generally accessible to the public. However, only a small number of people attend the courtroom. Mass media inform them about the most critical cases, thereby enabling transparency in the justice system. New technologies support an immediate reaction to matters of public interest. The paper dissects the role of new mass media in the courtroom, with a focus on their coverage of high-profile cases. The judge must comply with the presence of journalists and their need to attract an audience. Medial pressure, opinion formation before hearing and evaluating the evidence, could influence the fairness of a trial and the presumption of innocence. Based on case law, after interviewing legal practitioners, academics, and journalists, the author explores the backstage of the courts and newsrooms and seeks to answer the headline question. The author struggles to reconfirm and redefine the role of the media as watchdogs of democracy and the plurality of opinions.
