The Courts recognize the critical role of journalists in promoting access to justice by effectively informing the public about the judicial system, its workings, and its rulings.  This pivotal role ensures public awareness of legal rights, remedies, and informed decision-making in legal affairs.  Moreover, the media's commitment to providing accurate and current information strengthens public trust and confidence in the judicial system.  However, it's equally important for the justice system to balance this with the protection of individual rights and the assurance of non-interference in the administration of justice.
