| Synopsis: |
Media coverage of the Supreme Court of Canada has emerged as a crucialfactor not only for judges and journalists but also for the public.It's the media, after all, that decide which court rulings tocover and how. They translate highly complex judgments into concise andmeaningful news stories that will appeal to, and be understood by, thegeneral public. Thus, judges lose control of the message once they handdown decisions, and journalists have the last word. To show how the Supreme Court has fared under the media spotlight,Sauvageau, Schneiderman, and Taras examine a year in the life of thecourt and then focus on the media coverage of four high-profiledecisions: the Marshall case, about Aboriginal rights; theVriend case, about gay rights; the Quebec SecessionReference; and the Sharpe child pornography case. Theyexplore the differences between television and newspaper coverage,national and regional reporting, and the French- and English-languagemedia. They also describe how judges and journalists understand andinteract with one another amid often-clashing legal and journalisticcultures, offering a rich and detailed account of the relationshipbetween two of the most important institutions in Canadian life. |
