Supreme Court Rules: Twitter Allowed in Courtroom
The Supreme Court has shown its love for Twitter today, issuing guidelines that give journalists the green light to use Twitter to report court cases. This announcement deals specifically with cases before the Supreme Court, and is in response to the sometimes controversial use of Twitter in lower courts over the past few months.
The press notice released this morning reasons that court cases in front of the Supreme Court do not involve witnesses or jurors, and there is no reason why the proceedings should not be entered directly into the public record – whether that is through traditional means or by using Twitter.
