'The relationship between the US Supreme Court and the news media has always been fraught with tension, as journalists seek to cover an institution that covets its privacy and secrecy. The rapid development of new media platforms and technology has only intensified these strains. This book takes a comprehensive and engaging look at the relationship today and in the past. Both the media and the judiciary have much to learn from its findings.' Tony Mauro, Supreme Court correspondent for The National Law Journal and the Supreme Court Brief newsletter
