HOW WE DEVELOPED THE COURT CASE MONITORING METHODOLOGY
For court reporting to be accurate, responsible, and ethical, it is essential to have clear guidelines and standards. That is why we have developed a trial monitoring methodology, which enables the analysis of media coverage of cases related to human rights.
π How did we create the methodology?
π Research and analysis β We reviewed existing practices and standards in court case monitoring.
π Consultations with experts β Legal experts and media professionals helped ensure that the methodology is relevant and applicable.
π Defining key criteria β We focused on accuracy, impartiality, ethical principles, and professional standards in reporting.
π Testing and adaptation β The methodology has been refined to address the challenges of media coverage of judicial processes.
π’ Why is this important?
By monitoring and analyzing court reporting, we contribute to improving journalism quality, strengthening public trust in the judiciary, and protecting human rights.
π This activity is implemented within the “Media Watchdog β Monitoring for Ethical Reporting on Human Rights Violations” project, conducted by CEDEM in partnership with SOCEN, with financial support from the European Union and co-financing from the Ministry of Public Administration.
