televised court cases ..for or against

Quote:
Key court cases should be televised in a bid to increase public confidence in justice, England and Wales' top civil judge has said.
Master of the Rolls Lord Neuberger said the move would need to be looked at "very carefully" but could also increase transparency and engagement.
But he said judges would have to have "full rights of veto over what could be broadcast" and warned it may not be wise to televise witnesses or criminal trials.

I think this would be a good idea because it could take away the trial by media element in the big trials that attract media attention,it would limit their opportunities to selectively report facts in a way that prejudice the general public
