The Paparazzi


The paparazzi would follow celebritys to the brink of their death if they had the chance. And indeed they did have that chance with Princess Diana, where they lapped up the hype surrounding it. And still ten years down the line, you see those headlines ''Diana, was she murdered?''

The paparazzi as evil as they are, are still only doing a job, the people who constantly click that button to take photos are doing what they are told by the bosses, and same with the journalists.

So the question has to be asked, do the Paparazzi have to much freedom when it comes to the lengths they take to find out a story? I certainly think so!

below are links to some interesting articles that surround the topic.

Its just too much. Im sure most of them have been under so much stress that they often can't do what they want under the pressure of indiscriminate media. How about enact a new law to prevent being undesirable issues?

Good point ji-eun.

In some countrys laws are enforced on the media where they can only get so close to celebritys. Other more complicated laws of publishing peoples phtos with out consent even in public exist.

So why doesn't the stats have these laws to? seeing they are the biggest ones with the whole ''celebrity'' thing.
