摘要

美国最高法院在其历史上一直允许新闻界成员在其法庭上进行口头辩论和发布裁决。然而,花了近80年的时间才正式编纂了一个程序,通过该程序,新闻界成员获得了报道法院的正式资格,一张通行证让他们可以进入酒吧外的法庭,可以自由地在大厅里走动,可以在大楼的专用空间工作,还可以接触法官本人。这篇文章追溯了新闻界认证的历史,从1935年大法官搬进华盛顿特区最高法院大楼的那一天起,到2020年春天,由于COVID19病毒要求保持社交距离,前所未有的公众可以进行口头辩论。这是为了巩固历史记录,以确保法院对记者尽可能开放和方便,因为他们是公众的使者。法院的裁决影响到公民生活的方方面面,因此公众对法院工作的了解对强大的民主至关重要。媒体访问是理解的关键。

A History of Modern Press Access to the Supreme Court of the United States
Throughout its history, the Supreme Court of the United States has allowed members of the press access to oral arguments and decision releases in its courtroom. However, it took nearly eighty years to formally codify a process by which members of the press were officially credentialed to cover the Court, a pass giving them access to the courtroom beyond the bar, access to walk the halls freely, to work in dedicated space in the building, and access to the justices themselves. This article traces the history of the press credentialing from the day the justices moved into the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C., in 1935 to the unprecedented public access granted to oral arguments due to the social distancing required by the COVID19 virus in the spring of 2020. It is meant to fortify the historical record to ensure that the Court remains as open and accessible as possible to reporters because they act as emissaries of the public. The Court’s decisions affect all aspects of life for citizens, and therefore public knowledge of the Court’s work is essential to a strong democracy. Press access is key to that understanding.

期刊介绍: The societal, cultural, economic and political dimensions of communication, including the freedoms of speech and press, are undergoing dramatic global changes. The convergence of the mass media, telecommunications, and computers has raised important questions reflected in analyses of modern communication law, policy, and regulation. Serving as a forum for discussions of these continuing and emerging questions, Communication Law and Policy considers traditional and contemporary problems of freedom of expression and dissemination, including theoretical, conceptual and methodological issues inherent in the special conditions presented by new media and information technologies.
