Summary/Abstract: This article is based on a year and a half of research related to the 'Procès filmés' (filmed trials), mainly oriented to the V13 trial, and my current work about the media coverage of the Brussels 2016 terrorist attacks. Through empirical observations at the Paris and Brussels courts, and crossed interviews with journalists who came at the trials: our research intends to show how accurate this specialized journalism can be. As a mirror of the French and Belgian societies, we questioned the dimensions of communication, (social) media usage and justice. By studying specific aspects of the production of the RTBF and Le Soir journalists, we have focused our attention on the main trials regarding co-defendants who were prosecuted both in France and Belgium between 2021 and 2023.
