Preferred term
media and the Supreme Court

- The relationship between the media and the U.S. Supreme Court differs from that between the media and other institutions in terms of the deference that mass media outlets have shown the court throughout history. By covering the court less frequently and in a less political manner than the other branches of government, the media enhance the court's legitimacy, which allows it to function more effectively.
