The camera-shy federal courts: why are cameras accepted in state courts but dreaded in federal courts?

Article Abstract:

Cameras are routinely accepted in many state courts, but are still unheard of, and largely feared, in federal courthouses. Cameras were banned in 1946 from courtrooms in the federal rules of criminal procedure, and a wider ban included civil proceedings in 1972. The media has campaigned for change over the years and there have been experiments with cameras, which failed to change any minds.
