Et si les médias étaient en passe de se substituer à la justice ? Multiplication des pétitions contre les jugements, organisation d'enquêtes et de procès parallèles aux procédures judiciaire sur les chaines d'information en continu, lynchages sur Internet... Autant d'indices révélant une offensive de plus en plus violente de l'opinion contre l'institution judiciaire et les principes qui la fondent. Déjà le secret de l'instruction et la présomption d'innocence ont quasiment disparu. La liberté de parole de l'avocat dans le prétoire est remise en cause. La justice ne résiste plus aux révélations médiatiques et se sent contrainte de réagir instantanément pour ne pas être à la traine des journalistes. On en vient même à instrumentaliser le procès pour le transformer en tribune médiatique. La forteresse judiciaire se fissure sous les coups de boutoir de l'opinion. Peu à peu, le système médiatique impose ses propres valeurs, l'immédiateté, le manichéisme, le spectaculaire, l'émotion. La justice est devenue l'un des champs de bataille les plus violents du populisme. Pire, des phénomènes de vengeance privée commencent à émerger dans le monde entier via les réseaux sociaux. Il est urgent de réagir.

This “well-researched, nuanced” study of the rise of social media activism explores how marginalized groups use Twitter to advance counter-narratives, preempt political spin, and build diverse networks of dissent (Ms.) The power of hashtag activism became clear in 2011, when #IranElection served as an organizing tool for Iranians protesting a disputed election and offered a global audience a front-row seat to a nascent revolution. Since then, activists have used a variety of hashtags, including #JusticeForTrayvon, #BlackLivesMatter, #YesAllWomen, and #MeToo to advocate, mobilize, and communicate. In this book, Sarah Jackson, Moya Bailey, and Brooke Foucault Welles explore how and why Twitter has become an important platform for historically disenfranchised populations, including Black Americans, women, and transgender people. They show how marginalized groups, long excluded from elite media spaces, have used Twitter hashtags to advance counternarratives, preempt political spin, and build diverse networks of dissent. The authors describe how such hashtags as #MeToo, #SurvivorPrivilege, and #WhyIStayed have challenged the conventional understanding of gendered violence; examine the voices and narratives of Black feminism enabled by #FastTailedGirls, #YouOKSis, and #SayHerName; and explore the creation and use of #GirlsLikeUs, a network of transgender women. They investigate the digital signatures of the “new civil rights movement”—the online activism, storytelling, and strategy-building that set the stage for #BlackLivesMatter—and recount the spread of racial justice hashtags after the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and other high-profile incidents of killings by police. Finally, they consider hashtag created by allies, including #AllMenCan and #CrimingWhileWhite.

Discussing social media-related scholarship found in criminology, legal studies, policing, courts, corrections, victimization, and crime prevention, this book presents the current state of our knowledge on the impact of social media and the major sociological frameworks employed to study the U.S. justice system. Building a theoretical framework for the study of social media and criminal justice in each chapter, the chapters provide a systematic reflection of extant research on social media in cybercrime, operations of courts, administration of institutional and community corrections, law enforcement, and crime prevention. The book fills the gap between the contemporary state of knowledge regarding social media and criminal justice with respect to both empirical evidence and types of sociological frameworks being employed to explore and identify the societal costs and benefits of our growing dependence upon social media. In addition to providing an up-to-date overview of our current state of knowledge, this book highlights important areas of future research, wherein the benefits of social media can be expanded and the negative aspects of its broadening use can be minimized. Social Media and Criminal Justice will be of interest to students, scholars and practitioners in the areas of judicial administration, corrections management, law enforcement, and criminal justice-engaged community-based nonprofit organizations involved in court-referred treatment and/or active collaboration with local law enforcement agencies.

New York Times Bestseller “Organizing is both science and art. It is thinking through a vision, a strategy, and then figuring out who your targets are, always being concerned about power, always being concerned about how you’re going to actually build power in order to be able to push your issues, in order to be able to get the target to actually move in the way that you want to.” What if social transformation and liberation isn’t about waiting for someone else to come along and save us? What if ordinary people have the power to collectively free ourselves? In this timely collection of essays and interviews, Mariame Kaba reflects on the deep work of abolition and transformative political struggle. With a foreword by Naomi Murakawa and chapters on seeking justice beyond the punishment system, transforming how we deal with harm and accountability, and finding hope in collective struggle for abolition, Kaba’s work is deeply rooted in the relentless belief that we can fundamentally change the world. As Kaba writes, “Nothing that we do that is worthwhile is done alone.”

Political Journalism explores practices of political journalism, ranging from American 'civic journalism' to the press corps covering the European Union in Brussels, from Bangkok newsrooms to French and Italian scandal hunters. Challenging both the 'mediamalaise' thesis and the notion of the journalist as the faithful servant of democracy, it explores political journalism in the making and maps the opportunities and threats encountered by political journalism in the contemporary sphere.

Acteurs fondamentaux de la démocratie, justice et médias entretiennent des relations ambivalentes en raison de leurs fonctions respectives de régulation juridique de la société et d’information de l’opinion qui les conduisent à se surveiller mutuellement et dans le cas de la justice, à sanctionner les fautes commises par les médias comme par elle-même. Intéressés par les affaires judiciaires, effectuant tous deux des enquêtes pour connaître la vérité mais poursuivant des finalités différentes, justice et médias sont des associés-rivaux dont les concurrences comme les collaborations peuvent, pour des raisons propres à la configuration médiatico-judiciaire de chaque affaire, favoriser l’oeuvre de justice comme déboucher sur des échecs judiciaires retentissants. Pour analyser les rapports complexes qui se nouent entre justice et médias, cet ouvrage adopte une démarche historique, juridique et sociologique. Il examine d’abord comment s’est construit l’espace public médiatico-judiciaire avec le développement de la presse écrite et comment il a été restructuré avec celui des médias audiovisuels, la justice imposant un ensemble de restrictions à sa médiatisation auxquelles les médias ont dû s’adapter et les médias faisant réciproquement peser sur elle des contraintes de publicité de plus en plus importantes qui l’ont amené à se faire davantage communicante et à recourir aux nouvelles technologies d’information. Il étudie ensuite les mécanismes juridiques et déontologiques qui régulent la médiatisation de l’enquête et l’instruction, sur lesquelles la surveillance médiatique s’est focalisée avec le succès du journalisme d’investigation, puis ceux qui encadrent la médiatisation du procès et de la vérité judiciaire, ce qui permet d’apporter un éclairage sur les logiques à l’oeuvre dans les grands emballements médiaticojudiciaires qui émaillent l’histoire de la justice.
