Just Launched: Court News Ohio Website, TV Program, Print Publication, Social Media

In order to better deliver court news to the public,  the Ohio Supreme Court launched a new website, as well as social media, a TV program and a print publication. The Court News Ohio has four news feeds:  Cases, On the Bench (about Ohio judges), Headlines (newspaper articles) and Happening Now (news from the courts). You can receive updates via an RSS reader or via email.  In conjunction with the website, there is a  Facebook page and a Twitter feed.

A monthly print publication, Courthouse News Ohio Review (CNO Review), can be ordered via the CNO website.

Court News Ohio-TV, CNO TV, is a program which, “includes highlights of recently decided cases from the Ohio Supreme Court, the courts of appeals, and the Ohio Court of Claims; previews of upcoming cases before the Ohio Supreme Court; announcements of proposed rule changes; features on court programs; profiles of judges and court officials; and other news and information.”   The first episode of Court News Ohio TV (CNO-TV) will air on August 6, via the Ohio Channel.  CNO-TV videos will be available for individual download or through a free podcast subscription on Apple iTunes.

Per the Ohio Supreme Court’s press release:
“News that has traditionally been viewed on the Supreme Court’s website – such as programmatic initiatives, rule amendments and judicial appointments – will now appear on Court News Ohio. The expanded program will also feature decisions from the Court of Claims of Ohio and appellate courts, and other news about the Ohio judicial system.”
