Audio-visual Coverage of Courts
By
Daniel Stepniak
Description
Researched over a
period of 15 years by an author who has personally participated in
the debate internationally, Audio-Visual Coverage of Courts is the
first book to undertake a comprehensive comparative study of
televised court proceedings in Great Britain, the United States,
Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Exhaustive in his identification
and analysis of relevant law and key developments, Daniel Stepniak
draws on hitherto unpublished primary sources to undertake a largely
unprecedented examination of the experiences of non-US courts.
Through analysis of the regulation of audio-visual reporting, the
author outlines a theoretical framework and proven action plan for
the attainment of the potential benefits of audio-visual coverage,
arguing that technological advances, acknowledgement of legally
enforceable rights and, above all, judicial recognition of courts\\\'
vested interest in facilitating coverage in order to promote greater
public access and understanding of judicial proceedings, have led
audio-visual coverage to be increasingly perceived as desirable.
• It is the
first book to comprehensively document and analyse the cameras in
courts experiences which will broaden and enhance readers\\\'
understanding of the issue • Provides reader with access to
valuable previously unpublished information • The book does not
just document and analyse the issue - it outlines a persuasive and
proven means for overcoming the impasse of the \\\'courts versus the
media\\\' debate
