Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This study seeks to achieve two purposes: The first one is to identify the complexities that arise from the interaction between the media and the criminal prosecution, based on a legal and sociological approach. The second purpose is to analyze, based on the identified issues, the institutional answers that the State has given to such complexities through the Congress and the Constitutional Court. In the Law the study analyses the principle of publicity and its limitations, and in the Constitutional Jurisprudence, the struggle between constitutional rights, particularly the weighing of freedom of speech and other rights such as privacy and due process. As a conclusion, the study suggests the existence of some possible paradoxes in the institutional answers of the State to said issues.
