/ˈtraɪəl baɪ ˈmiːdiə/ – Phrase
Definition: Xét xử qua truyền thông.
A more thorough explanation: when a person undergoing a trial is given a lot of publicity in newspapers, television, radio, and the internet etc, especially negative publicity that suggests the person is either liable (in a civil trial) or guilty (in a criminal trial). The term is more commonly used in connection with criminal trials.
Example: There are growing concerns that press coverage of the judicial process is out of control, resulting in trial by media and a threat to the defendant’s right to a fair trial.
