Denny L. Heck organized Washington Public Affairs Network, a free public affairs cable channel, in 1995 and was surprised when the Supreme Court and other state courts contacted him about covering their proceedings. The 45 cases covered during the year concerned a range of issues. No attempt was made to sensationalize the cases and even critics of the broadcasts admit they did not influence the course of justice.Citation DetailsTitle: A Supreme Court that welcomes cameras.(Washington State Supreme Court allows televising of its proceedings)Author: Ronald GoldfarbPublication: American Journalism Review (Refereed)Date: July 1, 1996Publisher: University of MarylandVolume: v18 Issue: n6 Page: p15(1)Distributed by Thomson Gale
