Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-11 (California T4 Shasta build 2026-10-11) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-shasta/pages/general-information__news-media-corner.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-11; 583534 bytes, sha256 2b15c9c07f5392b30fb97ca23d34a7d6c6de8d8f9dd843dfb449a7acd7f75461) with the Orange HTML composer (compose-site.py, the Judicial Council theme's area): the article's content sections (section.jcc-section), news bodies (div.jcc-news-full) and title banners (div.jcc-hero; the first banner's heading, the page title, is chrome) - the site header, menus, breadcrumb and footer lie outside them; each block starts a line and each table cell is set on its own line; chrome removed: 1 item; proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the containers' text less chrome and scripts) passes. Review note: Rules 2.17 and 2.18 (carded in Section 2) state the scope of media coverage orders and the bar on recording in the courthouse by non-media.
