Keeping the Media Out

My question involves on going criminal case. This case has not made it to trial. The next date in court will be for another pretrial. The media has information on this case. It has been in newspapers,television, and radio. The Media wants some type of comment from the defendant. The defendant has posted a ''no trespassing sign'' on his business front door. My question is this. If the media enters the business with the above sign posted, can he have them arrested(Media)?
