crime and the courts  

Definición

  • News media coverage of crime and the courts highlights, among other things, the clear tension between First and Sixth Amendment rights in the Constitution, those of a free press versus a defendant's right to a fair trial. But such coverage also demonstrates the power of media to contribute to a false view of reality, as when heavy viewers of television feel threatened by a world they perceive as filled with more crime than is the case.
