"This article reports on a field experiment on the effect of media information on people’s attitudes towards the justice system. For the duration of a year a Dutch local newspaper took small groups of readers, called ‘newspaper jurors’, to court sessions of criminal cases and subsequently reported on their experiences and perceptions. Findings show that, after the treatment interval of 1 year, no attitude change in the general reader population could be identified that was absent in the control group."
