The U.S. Supreme Court seeks to withhold information about its
deliberations, while the press's job is to report and disseminate
this information. These two objectives conflict and create tension
between the justices and the reporters who cover them; add to that
the increasing demands for transparency in the digital age and the
result is an interesting dynamic between an institution that seeks
to preserve its opaqueness and a press corps that demands greater
transparency. This volume examines the relationship between
justices and the press through chapters that discuss facets such as
coverage of the institution, the media's approach to the docket,
and the effects of news coverage on public opinion. Additionally,
two journalists who cover the court offer insights into the
profession of reporting today, while two biographers of Supreme
Court justices share the perspectives of those justices regarding
the press.
