Wednesday 9/17/14

On Wednesday we continued to finish up Selleberty and and we talked about some of the main points from this documentary. We saw in the video that the paparazzi will do whatever it takes to get that one photo which could be worth $300,000. Now aside from this, we saw that gossip plays a huge role in this whole circle. US Magazine was the first magazine to start this idea. To really make you THE READER see into the lives of these starts. They made a page called "Stars are just like YOU", in which they show random pictures like someone getting ice cream and next to it they write "Stars get ice cream too." This magazine wanted their readers to feel apart of the gossip and have a real life picture into their favorite stars. It is really an interesting concept and idea. But there is a price to this idea, how far will you go to get that picture? The picture of a star who isn't on the red carpet all dressed up and glamorous. The people we call the paparazzi we do whatever it takes to get that picture of Jennifer Aniston walking her dog or Miley Cyrus at the store shopping. These people will invade the privacy and lives just for ONE picture. Now these people are protected the the 1st Amendment in which it states the freedom to press, but we need to think about this. Does that allow you to invade one's private life?
