Media Trials: A Threat to Justice: Media is often called the fourth pillar of democracy, meant to expose flaws and serve society. But media trials—where news outlets declare someone guilty without due process—pose a serious risk to justice. Such trials ignore facts, spread bias, and can unfairly influence judges, investigators, and public opinion. Even if the accused is later acquitted, they often live under lifelong stigma, harming not just them but also their families. While Article 19 grants freedom of speech, it has limits. To uphold dignity and fairness, the media must act responsibly and regulations must prevent misuse of this powerful platform.

In India, the criminal trial system rests on constitutional protections, due process, and the fundamental principle of considering every individual innocent until proven guilty. Courts operate within a well-defined framework of evidence, procedures, and legal reasoning to uphold fairness and impartiality. However, the media trial phenomenon diverges from these safeguards by constructing narratives that may pre-judge the accused and sway public opinion well before a verdict is reached. While the media serves a vital role in advocating transparency and answerability, its penchant for sensationalism poses a threat to the integrity of the judicial process. Preserving the presumption of innocence, ensuring a fair trial, and safeguarding the judiciary's independence are non-negotiable aspects. Justice should not be sensationalized but rather anchored in legal principles, factual evidence, and rational judgment. It is essential to strike a balance where the media educates while the courts exclusively administer justice.
