Justice in Plain Sight: How a Small-Town Newspaper and its Unlikely Lawyer Opened America's Courtrooms

Bernstein, Dan

Synopsis:

Censorship can take place anywhere and from anyone. In the 1980s, the Press-Enterprise, a hometown newspaper in Riverside, California, took two cases to the U.S. Supreme Court. The demand was that all court proceedings be open to the public and the press. Their successes have made it possible for, “...the public to witness jury selection and preliminary hearings.”
