新闻自由和司法独立两者的冲突在现代法治进程中已经不可避免地突显出来。这本质上是公民言论自由知情权与司法独立公正审判这两种权利之间的冲突,也是一种必然的结果。一方面,新闻自由有助于监督司法,有利于司法的独立性;另一方面,如果新闻舆论过度地干预影响司法活动,又会导致司法向民意的妥协,牺牲真正意义上的公平正义。所以,两者必须实现平衡与契合。但要达到两者都能接受的平衡是需要经过长时间磨合与调整的。本文正是从这个角度来分析冲突的原因和探讨解决的方案。经过分析后笔者的建议是首先要从立法上予以规范;其次要完善司法建设和规范新闻媒体行业规范;再次要增进两者的沟通协调。
Conflicts between the freedom of the press and the independence of the judiciary have inevitably been highlighted in the process of the modern rule of law. This is, in essence, a necessary result of the conflict between the right to free expression of citizens’ opinions and the judicial independence and fair trial of these two rights. On the one hand, freedom of the press helps to supervise the judiciary and contribute to the independence of the judiciary. On the other hand, excessive interference by the public opinion in the judiciary can lead to the judiciary’s compromise with public opinion at the expense of fair and just justice. Therefore, the two must be balanced and compatible. However, it will take a long time to adjust to the balance acceptable to both. This article is precisely from this perspective to analyze the causes of conflict and explore solutions. After analysis, the author’s suggestion is to first regulate the legislation; secondly, to improve the judiciary construction and standardize the media industry norms; once again to enhance the communication and coordination between the two.
