ITS OBJECTIVES ARE TO DEMONSTRATE THE IMPORTANCE AND INFLUENCE OF THE MEDIA IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS AND IDENTIFY ITS POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ASPECTS IN CRIMINAL TRIALS TODAY, STUDY FROM A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE THE MEDIA INFLUENCE AND ITS EFFECTS ON CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS, DISCUSS THE LIMIT AND MANNER THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA IN COURT DECISIONS, AND ANALYZE CASES IN WHICH THERE IS CLEAR INTERFERENCE BY THE MEDIA IN THE PROCEDURAL PHASE.
