Justices and Journalists

Beschreibung

Justices and Journalists examines whether justices are becoming more publicity-conscious and why that might be happening. The book discusses the motives of justices 'going public' and details their recent increased number of television and print interviews and amount of press coverage of their speeches. The book describes the interactions justices have with the journalists who cover them. These interactions typically are not discussed publicly by justices or journalists. The book explains why justices care about press and public relations, how they employ external strategies to affect press portrayals of themselves and their institution, and how and why journalists participate in that interaction. Drawing on the papers of Supreme Court justices in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the book examines these interactions over the history of the Court. It includes a content analysis of print and broadcast media coverage of Supreme Court justices covering a 40-year period from 1968 to 2007.

Autor

Richard Davis studied psychology at University College London before doing a masters at Lancaster in Behaviour in Organisations. He then studied job information systems in the air transport industry and moved into training, becoming training manager for Avis, UK. While there he was leading the work to revive the exceptional service culture that had been developed under Colin Marshal (later of British Airways). He came across the work of John Seddon showing how the system drives behaviour and the task began to make sense. Richard joined John at Vanguard UK in 1990 and has worked as a consultant ever since. He has worked in the private, public and voluntary sectors but of late has focused on the public sector and how to design services that help people and communities thrive rather than just fixing problems and needs.
