Examining the Ethics of Media Coverage of Celebrities :: Celebrity Obsession, tabloids
How far would you go to get that stage or to snap that front page picture? How far is too far? The issue of seclusion has taken a new toll, where do you draw the line? The news media (Toronto Star, CTV & CBC) are all in all networks that I think still respect that value of retirement with the youth act non addressing there name or picture, or when it comes to getting the story it doesnt seem that there exploiting people for the benefit of the story, on the other hand a lot of the debate and pressure is coming from the entertainment aspect of the media where a celebrity losses all privacy. My argument is that do we celebrities for the over exploitation on themselves or do we blame the tabloids/paparazzi. Is the way they go about in finding their stories different is there difference mingled with the tabloids (shorten in length and full with pretty pictures) and news media (an in debit look with blah black and white pictures). Its not about the story its the story of how you got the story. I must come out and say Im one of those millions of people that buy those juicy headlines reading ANGIE AND fasten DIVORCE is KATE HAVING AN AFFAIR?. Its a guilty pleasure that Im really starting to double think about what the truth is and whats there to make money In then end its non ethical for us to be all involved in ones life. I know we all say its part of there job but when there own private life becomes front page and there whole family secrets brought on to study for all to read, where do we draw the line when do we say enough is enough I love to know Kates favorite colour , but not when and where shes having this affair I believe it ruins a family its a hard fourth dimension someone is going through and we all can nonplus point fingers and laugh, but what happens when the table is turned on to you. You have the privacy to deal with the situation, and that what people need to understand yeah we enjoy the funny do up stories we can all read and laugh about, but serious life changing family situations should be kept private and dealt with within the family. I believe a person shouldnt be exploited in a during a hard time just to make a dollar, and thats wherefore I can say I dont buy any of those magazines anymore, but I do tend to pick them up time to time just to skim read.
