Criminal lawyer with media knowledge. Dissects framing, media hypes and public condemnation. With humor, practice and sharp analysis.

As an experienced criminal lawyer, media personality and former professor of journalism, Job Knoester knows exactly what happens when cases are fought not only in court, but also in the media. In this lecture he talks about how Trial by Media arises, how perception can make or break people and cases, and what impact it has on suspects, victims, lawyers and the public. Job knows the dynamics from the inside out: how stories are colored, how information is directed and how quickly the truth is supplanted by the image that scores best.

Lawsuits are not just fought in the courtroom. Public opinion, talk shows and social media are sometimes more ruthless than the courts. In this lecture, Job Knoester shows how "Trial by Media" works - and derails.

As a criminal lawyer and regular media guest, he knows the mechanisms inside out. He shows how framing occurs, how imaging breaks people, and why careful communication is crucial in the media age.
