Overview"News coverage of law can be a daunting task for any journalist, especially in a time when public interest in media coverage of the courts has greatly intensified. The second edition of ""Covering the Courts"" provides the most up-to-date resources for journalists and students. Detailed descriptions of each step of the judicial process along with tips from top journalists allow for a comprehensive analysis of courtroom activities. This handbook also addresses the complex issues surrounding the free press/fair trade controversy, pre-trial publicity and the various types of news coverage allowed across the country. New discussions include recent high-profile trials such as ""US v Microsoft"", the 2000 presidential election, and cases relating to the terrorist attacks of 9/11. This book is a substantial resource for journalism students and journalists covering the modern legal system." Full Product DetailsAuthor: S. L.
