Right to know is internationally recognized as a fundamental human right. The public legal right to know is regarded as its extension in the judicial field, which plays an active role in promoting the judicial justice, solving the "trial by media", establishing the judicial authority, promoting the protection of human rights, and building the rule of law. In reality, though, claims of the public legal right to know is often impeded and balanced by many factors, such as national security, administrative privileges, privacy, protection of Minors, and some of the current judicial system. In order to protect the right to know in criminal trials, we need to take several measures: build the institutional system of judicial openness; perfect the news release system; improve the professionalism of relevant personnel; promote the legislation of the press law; deepen the political and social system reform to create a favorable environment for the judicial reform.
