Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the recognition that the Supreme Court is the most invisible branch of American government and the one that most Americans know the least about, this book examines the way in which television news, the primary source of the public's limited knowledge, covers the Supreme Court. The book relies on rich interviews with network news reporters who have covered the Court, coupled with actual videotapes of network newscast coverage, to develop a unique portrait of the constraints faced by reporters covering the institution as well as a thorough picture of the facets of the Court's work that are factually covered by television news.
Download or read book TV Or Not TV written by Ronald L. Goldfarb and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last quarter century, televised court proceedings have gone from an outlandish idea to a seemingly inevitable reality. Yet,debate continues to rage over the dangers and benefits to the justice system of cameras in the courtroom. Critics contend television transforms the temple of justice into crass theatre. Supporters maintain that silent cameras portray "the real thing," that without them judicial reality is inevitably filtered through the mind and pens of a finite pool of reporters. Television in a courtroom is clearly a two-edged sword, both invasive and informative. Bringing a trial to the widest possible audience creates pressures and temptations for all participants. While it reduces speculations and fears about what transpired, television sometimes forces the general public, which possesses information the jury may not have, into a conflicting assessment of specific cases and the justice system in general. TV or Not TV argues convincingly that society gains much more than it loses when trials are open to public scrutiny and discussion.
Download or read book Television Courtroom Broadcasting Effects written by Paul Lambert and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2013-07-05 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Court and policy makers have increasingly had to deal with—and sometimes even embrace—technology, from podcasts to the Internet. Televised courtroom broadcasting especially remains an issue. The debate surrounding the US Supreme Court and federal courts, as well as the great disparity between different forms of television courtroom broadcasting, rages on. What are the effects of television courtroom broadcasting? Does research support the arguments for or against? Despite three Supreme Court cases on television courtroom broadcasting, the common thread between the cases has not been highlighted. The Supreme Court in these cases maintains a common theme: there is not a sufficient body of research on the effects of televising courtroom proceedings to resolve the debate in a confident manner.

Book excerpt: Soft news vs. hard news has been a topic of discussion in American politics for the last few decades with the ever-increasing technology of TV, cable networks, Internet, blogs, social networking sites and mobile smart phones. Public awareness of the Supreme Court and its role in The United States of America has been impacted by the increasing, fast paced, instant and ever changing technological advances in today's society. The Supreme Court is a vital part of upholding the checks and balances of the American system of government. If the masses do not know how or what the Judicial Branch is doing then discussing whether the Court is upholding the integrity of its subjects is mute. Understanding the primary sources of American political news is a critical component in developing theories of political knowledge of the Court and the impact that knowledge has on the legitimacy of the Judiciary. This paper will examine how young adults become exposed to information about the Supreme Court, and will highlight the relationship between (soft news) television exposure and (soft news) digital media exposure and American's knowledge of and views on the Supreme Court. This research will focus on the beneficial information gained by young Americans from digital-media television soft news.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Justice Neil Gorsuch reflects on his journey to the Supreme Court, the role of the judge under our Constitution, and the vital responsibility of each American to keep our republic strong. As Benjamin Franklin left the Constitutional Convention, he was reportedly asked what kind of government the founders would propose. He replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.” In this book, Justice Neil Gorsuch shares personal reflections, speeches, and essays that focus on the remarkable gift the framers left us in the Constitution. Justice Gorsuch draws on his thirty-year career as a lawyer, teacher, judge, and justice to explore essential aspects our Constitution, its separation of powers, and the liberties it is designed to protect. He discusses the role of the judge in our constitutional order, and why he believes that originalism and textualism are the surest guides to interpreting our nation’s founding documents and protecting our freedoms. He explains, too, the importance of affordable access to the courts in realizing the promise of equal justice under law—while highlighting some of the challenges we face on this front today. Along the way, Justice Gorsuch reveals some of the events that have shaped his life and outlook, from his upbringing in Colorado to his Supreme Court confirmation process. And he emphasizes the pivotal roles of civic education, civil discourse, and mutual respect in maintaining a healthy republic. A Republic, If You Can Keep It offers compelling insights into Justice Gorsuch’s faith in America and its founding documents, his thoughts on our Constitution’s design and the judge’s place within it, and his beliefs about the responsibility each of us shares to sustain our distinctive republic of, by, and for “We the People.”

Book excerpt: This journalism master's project includes a professional work component and a research component. The professional work component details the author's experiences working at CNN in Washington, D.C., primarily as a researcher/associate producer on the Supreme Court beat. Includes examples of work. In the research component entitled, "Television news and the Supreme Court," the author writes: "While this discussion will concentrate on television news Court coverage, it is necessary to look at print coverage as well. I will begin by presenting recent qualitative studies of Court coverage, analyzing the types of Court stories the press frequently covers. ... The press is seen as the Court's main interpreter, so I will look at the reasons for this role. ... I will describe the secrecy of the Court and how that affects coverage. After discussing the press in general, I will turn to legal affairs. ... After a discussion of the innate differences in journalism and law, I will focus on television news. ... Some areas to be explored include: How do different networks cover the Court? What are the difficulties encountered? What is the deciding factor in covering a story? What elements are necessary in a Court story? Finally, this paper looks at the future of television news coverage of the Court and how that coverage will affect the American public." (part I, p. 2-3) Includes a literature review.
