  • MEDIA TRIAL: an IMPEDIMENT in FAIR TRIAL Authored By: Nitesh Tripathi
    ISSN 2455-4782 MEDIA TRIAL: AN IMPEDIMENT IN FAIR TRIAL Authored by: Nitesh Tripathi * Research Scholar ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT In today’s time, high decibel journalism is in vogue in news channel debates. It doesn’t matter whether the panelist is making sound arguments; the only thing that matters is how much louder he can shout. And it is not just about television debates trying to garner TRPs. Media organizations, be it print, electronic or new media, in order to gain more audience bother less about credibility of source and instead try to sensationalize news which is done even at the cost of distortion of facts. This is evident from the number of outstanding cases of defamation media organizations have against them in court. In a case before the Judiciary, the media gives its own verdict and thus shapes public opinion. This in turn compromises with the decision of the judiciary and sometimes they have to give in under popular public sentiments and pressure. This was observed in the case of Afzal Guru where evidence was only circumstantial, and there was no evidence that he belonged to any terrorist organization. It is in this context Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once said “It doesn't matter if justice is on your side. You have to depict your position as just.” This statement goes on to show how much powerful media is and how quickly it can create a perception in people’s mind. They can make someone Hero and within no time can turn them into villain. In extreme cases such as that of Khurshid Anwar, the victim took even his own life.
