Abstract
Evaluations of “experiments” of extended media coverage of the courts, i.e., cameras in the courts, have relied upon survey research. The authors argue that such evaluations have been inadequate and future evalutions need to compare conventional media coverage vs. extended media coverage using field experimental research designs.Keywords
