EDITORIAL: Don't lock the press out of Kohberger trial
A group of news outlets covering the Kohberger case, including the Coeur d’Alene Press, recently sent a letter to the judge asking for better access to the upcoming trial. Our requests are simple and reasonable: Let one photographer in, save one seat for a reporter, improve the camera feeds and ease up on the gag order. But what we’re really asking for is something much bigger: the right to observe the trial on your behalf.
When reporters cover a trial, they’re acting as our eyes and ears. They’re trained to catch the details that matter, to ask the right questions, and to explain complex legal proceedings in ways all of us can understand.
