Strategic Open Justice by Jane Johnston

Strategic Open Justice by Jane Johnston

Strategic Open Justice examines how fusing two fundamental components of modern democratic societies – strategic communication and open justice – has begun a revolutionary change in the way courts manage their public media and communication practice. It explores historic developments that have led to contemporary media and communication operations in the courts and how these both build and challenge public opinion and community confidence in the administration of justice and the judicial arm of government. The cross-disciplinary approach combines theory and practice from law, media and journalism, strategic communication, and narratology in a single, internationally researched volume. Examining concepts such as publicity, transparency, media platforms, big data, AI, and open justice itself, it presents a thought-provoking analysis of how contemporary open justice developed and changed, the actors involved, how communication and media drive engagement, and the challenges and benefits in modernising court communication practices, cultures, and traditions.

Jane Johnston is a cross-disciplinary scholar who researches the interface between strategic communication and both the justice system and the public interest. She has written and edited twelve books (two award winning), over seventy journal articles and chapters, and reports for Australian and international government bodies and NGOs, including the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and Australian Federal and State Law Reform Commissions. This is her thirteenth book.
