Yes reporters should be denied access to the courtroom.

Explanation:

The reason behind this is that reporters essentially play a role in media. This is because the media uses stories from different sources and reporters are an example of a source. Therefore if a person was to have a private trial the reporter could easily leak out all the information of the trial to the media. Therefore reporters should be denied access to the courtroom due to how they are a source of information the media (for example news papers) uses.
