鉴于分权制衡理论的科学性和大众传媒在当代社会的崛起,司法独立和新闻自由的关系应当从分权制衡理论视野中得以考察。据此,二者之间存在既相互促进又相互冲突的双重关系,并且这两种关系各具不同的表现形式,这应当构成我国进行相关司法改革的认识前提。 In view of the scientific nature of the theory of checks and balances and the rise of mass media in contemporary society, the relationship between judicial independence and freedom of the press should be examined from the perspective of the theory of checks and balances. Accordingly, there exists a dual relationship that promotes and conflicts with each other, and the two relations have different manifestations, which should form the precondition of our country’s relevant judicial reform.
