The media's right to attend isn't being questioned. Journalists are free to come and go from almost every judicial and quasi-judicial proceeding in Canada. It's their electronic baggage that's the issue — their cameras, tape recorders and whether they should have the right to broadcast the proceedings using all of the tools of their trade. As for criminal trials, the pro-camera arguments usually lose. Most trials in this country remain firmly out of bounds as far as broadcasting is concerned. Pictures and spoken testimony from the proceedings were replaced by court sketches, on-screen text excerpts and reporter summaries. Advocates of more camera access see that as contrary to the public interest; opponents see such prohibitions as a salvation for the whole trial process.
