As we all know that contempt is type of a criminal offence, in other words, journalist will go to the jail if they make this criminal offence , and lost their job.so that journalist need realize the contempt is a extremely problem when they join tom work in court or any other place, that mean journalist should not interrupt , for instance, if anyone who is giving a phone call in the court room, it could be contempt.
In my viewpoint , journalist need help to protect the fair in court, in consequent, they have responsibility to protect suspect’s private information regardless of how horrible the crime. In addition, aim to avoid jurors have prejudice. Journalist should not publish any sensitive information before the trial . Because Jurors may be affected by journalist who publish some information before the trial, it will influence the who proceeding, and it is obviously unfair in court. The reason is that the publication of material that can influence the fair, as we all know that every trial is based on evidence rather than personal viewpoint, so that Jury always respect for the evidence because it can lead then to make conclusion in the end. Basically, the Jury believe that defendant is guiltless before finding evidence constantly. It widely assumed that journalist can also be in contempt by conduct different from with publication, for example, if they disclose some gossip or any other information for Jury, it should be contempt offence.
