In authorityJusticeI'm dealing with fanaticsMedia
A series of cases such as the hobin car races and the sun weiqi crashes that have emerged over the years have brought justice and media relations to the forefront。
Justice and the media are long-standing and entangled concepts. The media is a double-edged sword for the judiciary, which, if not handled properly, undermines the authority of the judiciaryCredibilityGood practice promotes the concept of the rule of law and, to some extent, the maintenance of justice and the promotion of social justice。
From a judicial point of view, it is important to remain calm and rational in the face of the fanatical media, but from the current judicial and media relations in china, the key to the problem is not so much the degree of confrontation and conflict between the media and the judiciary, but rather the extent to which, after a growing number of similar cases and judicial events, tensions between the media and the judiciary have never been resolved. Rather, the media have become increasingly fanatical in the face of such events, and the public has become increasingly tense, and what are the real reasons, apart from the unlimited enlargement and some distortion of public opinion on the internet
It should be said that, while the phenomenon of “media trials” is frequently criticized, it is one-sided and not a fundamental response to the underdevelopment and ill-health that places all responsibility for media development. Justice should think calmly before “media trials” and find responses so that it may be possible to provide a better solution to this social phenomenon。
From the personal perspective of citizens, the media and the judiciary are always weak. In modern societies, it is a test of judicial wisdom to translate the weakness and helplessness of power into the equity and justice that individuals and societies agree on, how the weakness and confusion can be translated into the process of individual rights and the realization of equity and justice, and how media bias can be reduced to truth and objective justice. For china, where both justice and the media are developing and improving rapidly, this relationship is a test of judicial capacity itself。
It should be said that, in the face of the media's professionalism to attract attention, justice should be guided by its essential attributes and the basic requirements of reason, and that it should not be lost in the frenzy of the media and the public's confusion, which is a basic requirement for justice and, more importantly, the improvement and integrity of the specific justice system。
Publicity and transparency in the administration of justice are paramount requirements. The most fundamental reason why people get excited after a case such as dumbledore is that, in the traditional political system, there is a lack of transparency in the functioning of the system, insufficient disclosure of government information, and difficulties in seeing the truth, which makes speculation and questioning inevitable. Although we have made significant progress in recent years in terms of public information, there is still some doubt about the extent and comprehensiveness of public information, due to regional disparities in economic development and institutional reforms, as well as to the traditional mindset of the general public. The inertia of this thinking and the public's acrimony have to a large extent led to popular impulses following public events and public questioning of government information。
The prompt access to justice is fundamental. The statement that late justice is not justice, although it is biased, has some relevance in a rapidly evolving social context, particularly for individuals with weak powers, who do not have timely access to justice, who do not have timely defence of their rights, who do not have timely redress for their power relations, and who do not have timely redress for their power relations, which can, to a large extent, breed grievances and doubts about the system and lead to further imbalances in social power relations, which can even breed new social injustices and undermine the rights of others. The constant involvement of the media may even lead to a move away from public opinion and the truth, or divert the judiciary from its objective and impartial position in the media bubble and spotlight. The judiciary has its own procedures, but the establishment of specific procedures or mechanisms for responding to emergencies and timely involvement in the public investigation of major events will certainly have a positive impact in clarifying the misperceptions of public opinion and in guiding public opinion。
Finally, the most fundamental reason for the current tension between the media and the judiciary in china is the fact that the judicial system is still at a distance from the demands and expectations of the population, that there is a certain lack of judicial authority, that there is a certain weakening of judicial credibility, and that there is a certain erosion of judicial justice, leading to the customary release of grievances about judicial injustice to the media, which is a central manifestation of a certain degree of mistrust in the administration of justice and the credibility of the government. In the face of a certain weakening of judicial authority and credibility, media involvement is inevitable and even provides a degree of judicial alternative function, such as oversight, investigation and so forth。
In this sense, judicial rationality is not only a basic requirement for the eradication of “media justice”, but is also part of the justice itself, which, although sometimes it is difficult to achieve effectively at present, is not the fundamental solution to undue media interference. The proper management of china's current media and judicial relations and, more importantly, the search for solutions at the technical level of judicial procedures and justice, as well as at the level of guarantees of the authority and credibility of the judiciary, are the basis for ensuring judicial rationality. If justice does not appear in time for public events in the image of an impartial and objective authority, media substitution is inevitable。
