Framing the Narrative: Journalism's Influence on the Presumption of Innocence
In this insightful episode, Pulitzer-nominated journalist Mark Di Ionno talks candidly about how the media can affect the court of public opinion for defendants facing criminal accusations.
Throughout Mark’s 40+ years of reporting, he has maintained and demonstrated empathy for the people who are at the heart of any story he’s written. He and host Matt Adams explore how changes in journalism, including the way reporters approach a story and the impact left by a digital footprint, may have eroded the presumption of innocence to which every defendant is entitled.
This episode also offers insight into how defense attorneys can flex the media narrative to benefit and protect their clients.
