What is the word used when a person cannot receive a fair trial because people have formed an opinion from information from the news?

If it is believed that the jury pool has been contaminated or unduly influenced by the media, and that the defendant has been "tried by the press", a defense attorney may petiton the court for a "change of venue", which is to say that he is asking it to be moved to another county.
Nowadays, as news reaches everyone in the state - and oft times the nation - not just the lone county, this has come under scrutiny. Changes of venue nowadays are asked for primarily if the defense attorney believes that the jury is going to be drawn from a population that is inherently prejudiced against the defendant.
This can be, for instance, if a person is on trial for killing a fisherman, and the jury is to be drawn from the town of 150 fisherman who are no doubt in some way related to the victim. Or, it can reflect lingering racial divisions, such as if an attorney for a black defendant tries to move the trial to a county with a higher percent of blacks, and thus a greater chance of getting one black on the jury.
