“媒介审判”是部分英美法系国家和地区描述媒体不当报道案件和庭审，从而影响陪审团和法官裁决的现象的一种比喻说法，其本质是媒体报道活动与司法审判活动之间存在的一种紧张关系。尽管中国内地并不实行陪审制度，也没有赋予法院以“藐视法庭罪”惩戒媒体不当报道司法审判活动的权力，但中国内地语境下的“媒介审判”现象仍可能对司法机关独立行使司法权产生负面的影响，进而导致司法不公。本文主要采取了质化研究的方式，通过文献分析的方法考证了“媒介审判”这一说法在部分英美法系国家和地区的起源，介绍了部分国家和地区对该现象的规治方法。此外，笔者还通过文献分析、深度访谈的研究方法，对中国内地语境下的“媒介审判”现象的特点和案例进行了归纳，将其与“舆论监督”和“舆论审判”等近似说法作了辨析，并通过参与式观察的方法对中国内地媒体报道司法审判活动现状进行了描述。在此基础上，笔者通过对个案的分析，并结合深度访谈和参与式观察，对中国内地语境下的“媒介审判”现象可能对司法公正产生的影响进行了详细的论证，指出其可能直接误导公众，间接干预司法；也可能直接干预司法；还可能带来侵犯案件中的当事人名誉权等其它危害。针对中国内地语境下的“媒介审判”现象可能带来的负面影响，笔者提出了让法院落实审判公开和让媒体监督回归本位的对策及相关具体建议。最后，笔者回顾了“媒介审判”这一说法的发展路径，并指出了该说法今后可能的三个发展趋势，即在媒介形式上扩大到互联网等新媒介载体；在干预范围上扩大到仲裁机构行使司法权的行为；在案源上扩大到跨国的案件。

The phrase "Trial by Media", or "Media Trial", comes from some of the common law system countries and districts. Such phenomenon is strictly forbidden in those countries and districts, because if the media, such as newspapers or TV programs, publish unfair reports or comments on the current cases, it may bring a real and substantial danger of prejudice. Mainland China follows the civil law system, only the judges have the power to make the decisions in the trials, and the court is not authorized by the power of "Contempt of Court". However, the relationship between the media and the court in mainland China is similar with the counterpart of those common law countries and districts, the unfair reports and comments on the current cases can bring negative impacts to a fair trial.This paper mainly uses the qualitative research methods. Firstly, the author identifies the origin of the saying "Trial by Media" by literature analysis, and introduces the relevant regulations in some countries and districts. By using the methods of participant observation and depth interviews, the author summarizes the characters and cases of mainland China's "Media Trial", and makes a general description of the current case reporting and court reporting in mainland China. Moreover, the author points out the possible negative impacts of the "Media Trial" in mainland China, and gives some practical advice to solve the problem.Finally, the author gives a review of the history of the saying "Trial by Media", and foresees the probable developing path of its future. Basically, new media form (Internet), more judicial organs (Arbitral institutions), and transnational cases are 3 possible elements of the future developing of the saying.
