Trial by media
The term "trial by media" gained popularity in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, referring to the influence of television and newspaper coverage on an individual's reputation, creating a widespread perception of guilt or innocence even before a verdict is reached in a court of law. This phenomenon is especially pertinent in cases involving high-profile individuals facing trial, as there is a concern that the impartiality of the jury may be compromised due to the exposure to extraneous information. As a result, the due process of law may be disrupted, leading to the possibility of an unfair trial.
