8 CCR 1207-2, pt. 5 - Expanded media coverage

Expanded media coverage of cases before the Hearing Officer may be permitted at the discretion of the Hearing Officer under such conditions as the Hearing Officer may designate. In determining whether expanded media coverage should be permitted, the Hearing Officer shall consider the following factors:

A. Whether there is a reasonable likelihood that expanded media coverage would interfere with the rights of the parties to a fair hearing;

B. Whether there is a reasonable likelihood that expanded media coverage would unduly detract from the solemnity, decorum and dignity of the proceedings;

C. Whether expanded media coverage would create adverse effects that would be greater than those caused by traditional media coverage.
