"Endeavouring to let the people feel fairness and justice in every court verdict" is a requirement clearly set out in the report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China(CPC).Hot-button social cases are the entry point for the judiciary into the public eye,and are particularly important for the establishment of the judicial image.The formation of public opinion in social hotspot cases is affected by the mirror effect and the'extrajudicial'effect,presenting the characteristics of unipolarised opinions,interweaving of rationality and irrationality as well as the introduction of social emotions,etc.,which requires two-way regulation by the judiciary and the media to achieve effective governance:on the one hand,the judiciary needs to abide by the character of calmness,openness and prudence;on the other hand,it needs to reshape the function of the media in the public sphere through rule-setting and policy governance.On the one hand,the judiciary needs to abide by the character of calmness,openness and prudence;on the other hand,it needs to reshape the function of the media in the public sphere through the setting of rules and policy governance.Only in this way can we shape a good image of justice,so that fairness and justice are felt by the public in each specific case.
