Topic essay
Sometimes, famous people complain about some delicate photographs or articles that are published, citing that their own privacy is never respected. Although some people state that fame entails press pressure unavoidably, personally, I argue with celebrities.
Firstly, sometimes press calls the attraction of the audience by publishing distorted information. Moreover, this is usually caused by ordinary people who spread false gossips to live at the expense of famous people. As I see it, the media should not take part in all these untrue matters that can cause quite pain.
Secondly, the family, the friends and other kind of relations of celebrities get usually involved in certain publications. As a result, they usually get also in trouble unfairly and feel offended constantly by comments. In my point of view, all these people deserve a lot of respect.
In conclusion, I think that press should not always have the right to publish whatever they like. I feel that famous people, as every human, must be respected and have their own private moments.
Topic Essay
THE PRESS HAS A RIGHT TO PUBLISH PHOTOGRAPHS AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRIVATE LIFE OF CELEBRITIES
The paparazzo industry has experienced a noticeable boom in the last decades: everybody is anxious to know the latest scandal of that drunken celebrity or about the secret lover of that multimillionaire football player. Nevertheless, it is often discussed whether the press has the right to publish details of such compromising affairs. Personally, I do not support the idea of invading someone’s privacy in exchange for money.
Firstly, everyone has the right or should have the right to decide what aspects of their lives they want to portray to the public eye. In other words, your private life must remain private and if someone violates that privacy, the law must compensate you.
Secondly, we must remember that celebrities are humans too and they suffer in their daily lives. If we focus all the mass media attention on them while they are going through hard times we risk putting their mental health in a fragile state.
To sum up, I do not consider it ethical to constantly chase and annoy celebrities just for the sake of enjoying gossip. In my opinion, this is just the result of pure envy and wannabe desires.
ESSAY
THE PRESS HAS A RIGHT TO PUBLISH PHOTOGRAPHS AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRIVATE LIFE OF CELEBRITIES
Getting in the world of fame implies that many aspects and conditions may change someone’s private life. The press is the first to claim the right to publish any photograph and information about the celebrities’ own life, causing that the audience becomes foolish and starts gossiping about it. Nevertheless, I personally don’t agree with the existing limitless freedom that everybody takes in front of a celebrity.
First of all, we should never forget that all human beings have a right to privacy. For that reason, celebrities have the same opportunities as other people to enjoy their private lives quietly without constant invasions from the press. However, if some day a celebrity decides to make pieces of his confidential life public, the information would be absolutely impressive and shocking for the audience.
What is more, the mental health of a celebrity can be affected by the constant attention from the press. Lots of famous people don’t do what they want with their own lives due to the pursuits that some paparazzi carry through in order to surprise them in interesting or compromising situations. Besides, famous people get obsessed with the way they act, the way they dress up or their eating habits, in order to always be at their best condition just in case paparazzi take pictures from hidden places, so they won't be able to criticize the way they are.
In conclusion, it seems to me that everybody would like to have a little privacy even if they become famous. As I see it, the press should respect the private life of celebrities because, despite the fame and the wealth, they also are, above all, human beings.
Topic Essay
“The press has a right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities”
Nowadays, we know almost everything about our favourite celebrities. In the last decades, the press has found out more ways to discover celebrities’ secrets or confidences and yellow press journalists have taken advantage of new technologies and sources of information. Some celebrities complain about their lack of privacy, but I think they should not do it.
First of all, celebrities are public figures. Therefore, they need publicity to stay in the public eye. What is more, when a people achieve fame and success they must know that, as modern celebrities, losing their privacy is part of the price they have to pay for being what they are.
Secondly, the public has the right to know any kind of news. As a result, celebrities must know that the more famous they are, the more criticised they will be. Besides, they must accept their role in this game and they have to try to give an attractive image to the public.
In conclusion, I am convinced that the press can publish any kind of information about the private life of public figures. As far as I am concerned, lots of celebrities base their life in their image and they have to accept its consequences.

A topic essay: "The press has a right to publish photographs or information about the private life of celebrities"
Everybody talks about famous people. There is no person who could refuse to read fresh gossip in yellow press. Although there will always be someone against it, justifying with that all human beings have a right to privacy. Personally, I do not agree with this statement, because we all have a right to know any news.
Firstly, it is not a secret that celebrities need publicity to remain in the public eye. The press is making a great favour to them publishing photos or information about their lives. After all, if the celebrities want to be famous, sooner or later they will have to lose their privacy.
Secondly, for us, “mere mortals”, it is an authentic enjoyment reading about our favourite celebrities. The more we read about them, the more intriguing it becomes when we find out more.
In conclusion, is it not interesting to know what happens in the world of famous people? As far as I am concerned, the press has to continue publishing information about the privacy of celebrities, because the public wants it.
