This study aimed to identify the extent of Palestinian journalists' interest in covering court cases, the challenges they face in this field, and the role of the media in promoting transparency and justice in the Palestinian judicial system. The study used a descriptive-analytical approach, employing a questionnaire distributed to a purposive sample of (58) practicing journalists in the city of Nablus. The sample was selected based on their interests and experience to ensure accurate and comprehensive data. The results of the study indicated that journalists showed a moderate interest in following and covering court cases (69%), while (79%) believed that the complex and difficult political conditions imposed by the occupation negatively impact their level of interest in covering cases before the courts. The results also showed that (88%) of journalists believe that Palestinian society urgently needs the press to focus on covering judicial cases, and (87%) believe it is necessary to enhance the curricula in media colleges on judicial issues. Furthermore, (87%) of the respondents considered the press to be an effective oversight tool that contributes to raising the level of transparency and justice in the judicial system.
