Scholarly examination of the media coverage of the Supreme Court occurs for both intrinsic and instrumental purposes. Scholarly study of media coverage of the Court examines the content, frame, and magnitude of the coverage. Pushing further, these examinations provide critical information about the relationship between media coverage and the institutional credibility of the Court. Studies of media coverage are also instrumental as they provide metrics useful in the explication of judicial behavior. Despite the usefulness of the work explored here, the knowledge gained may be expiring. As social networks usurp traditional and online media sources as the conduit for information, our focus on the relationship of the mass media, its coverage of the Court, and various questions of judicial legitimacy or public knowledge may be expiring.

Media analysis of public engagement with genetics and cloning is dominated by media genre-specific or issue-specific analysis. Such analyses tend to frame genetics as a new technology, and media resources as current and immediate. Broader public discourses tend towards marginalising public knowledge as against expert voices. This article takes a broader perspective to demonstrate that people engage with multiple media genres over an extensive time frame. It explores the findings of Mass Observation directive looking at how people know about genes, genetics and cloning. We detail the specificity of using this research instrument and map the rich and detailed media culture, which emerged. Thus, we provide insight into how media cultures resource public knowledge-making over time. The research also indicates a pro-science and engaged public culture in relation to genetics in the United Kingdom, in which the media are key.

On 22 May 1987, at least 42 Muslims in Meerut (in UP) were brutally massacred by the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC). A massive cover-up was staged where sections of the media, state and its agencies seem to have colluded to conceal the massacre from public knowledge. As a result, for 28 years, Hashimpura massacre was hardly remembered except for some important articles in the reputed Economic and Political Weekly. It was in 2015 that the news media woke up to the event when a court judgement came acquitting the accused, while admitting the fact of mass murder. The whole episode casts doubt on the value of newspapers and media as historical sources.
