Illinois Objection of Witness to Extended Media Coverage is a legal mechanism that allows witnesses in criminal proceedings to bar any type of media coverage of a trial in their presence. This includes any type of media, such as television, radio, newspaper, or social media. The objection must be made to the court by the witness before the commencement of the trial. If the court finds that the witness has a legitimate interest in preventing the coverage, it can order the appropriate media outlets to comply with the request. The types of Illinois Objection to Witness to Extended Media Coverage include: objection to live-streaming of proceedings, objection to photographing of the witness, objection to recording of witness’ testimony, and objection to broadcasting of witness’ testimony.
