"The press has a right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities"

Before 1672, when gossip magazines showed up, there were just newspapers in which people could read interesting news about economics and politics. Nowadays, unfortunately, in the newstands, there are more gossip mazagazines than newspapers.  They tell us the private life of famous people, althought they constantly ask pararazzo to stop.


In first place, press has always tried to call the atraction of the readers by publishing compromising information. In addition, sometimes they distort reality in order to earn a bigger amount of money. In my point of view, despite press has not the intention of hurting anybody, they do it unconsciously. They cause a lot of pain. 

In second place, the people who surround famous people, family and friends, basically, can also be offended. Press are capable of making up an argument between a famous and a friend. This is a fact. Those people deserve some recpect too.

To sum up, I would like to say that press should not be always able to publish certain things that put into a embarrasing situation somebody. I think and support that famous people, as human beings they are, they must be respected and have their own intimate moments.

Post Scryptum:
I apologize for what happened in the previous essay.

The press has a right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities’.



There is an open debate within our society, if whether press, has got the right to intrude on the private life of celebrities. Many are the arguments for and against it, but I can only say that I am  not keen on paparazzi being constantly putting pressure on famous people.

First of all, I consider that every human being has got the right to privacy. Nowadays, it seems like if we had the right to meddle in people’s life and the press has gone wildly through its limits. I must admit though, that partially society has a lot to do with this. Since it is our desire to know from others life that causes this type of journalism.

Besides this, it seems to me that this kind of job ends up always badly. Let me explain, if we analyze many of the last fateful events, such as the death of Lady Diana Spencer, we can come to the conclusion that one of the reasons for it to happen, was the constant pressure that some well known people have to suffer.

To sum up, I affirm what I said at the beginning, the press has got to know were the limit line is and respect it. It makes things much easier and it doesn’t have that negative connotation.

Paparazzo have improved their method of photographing with the breakthrough in digital cameras, and with these cameras, they can do brilliant photos from far away. That is why paparazzo can photograph celebrities so easily, and they are continuously photographing famous people. I think the press have no right to publish photos and information about celebrities’ private life.
Firstly, celebrities have the right to their privacy, because paparazzi are following them all the day, is a constant pressure. For example, anyone would like to be photographed while shopping, going to the beach, eating...
Secondly, not only inform and take pictures, but also opine about the life they have, or what they do. The press is very subjective and also criticizes what celebrities do.
In conclusion, I think that some activities can be published, but some others have to be private.  In my view, the press should photograph other things that are more important that the private life of celebrities.

Nowadays, celebrities have to be careful of their actions thanks to the yellow press. They publish photographs of celebrities in embarrassing moment. Furthermore, the celebrities seldom can complain. Personally, I think that without permission of the protagonist of the photograph, this type of publications that should be forbidden.
Firstly, it is well known that paparazzi go to great lengths to take a picture of a famous. They easily capture these pictures. Nevertheless, they rarely request permission, because they well know that the celebrity would frown on the publication of a photo in that situation.
Secondly, some photographers caught famous people in an awkward situation. For example, when they are in the beach doing topless or in a date. What is more, yellow press sometimes distorts the images.
In conclusion, I think that with a correct form and authorization, the publications may come out in the yellow press.

VERY GOOD CRISTIAN LÓPEZ!!!!

The press has a right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities

At the beginning of journalism, the press was born with the aim to inform citizens about important happenings. However, due to the insatiable gossip-thirst of human beings, soon sensational magazines appeared too. Nowadays, these publications have completely invaded the private life of celebrities and I consider it a big mistake.
To begin with, celebrities may be famous and popular but they are just ordinary people like us. Behind the mask of a superstar, there is a person who has the right of privacy and deserves some respect on their private life. We should not care so much about other people’s marriages, divorces and problems, but live our own lives.
Secondly, this intrusion in the celebrities’ private life causes them conflicts and hurts their relationships. I believe it must be hard for a famous couple to find their argues published and discussed by everyone. Moreover, we have no right to criticise their decisions for no one is analysing ours.
For all these reasons, I consider these publications to be unnecessary and inappropriate. Celebrities have the right of privacy as much as we do and it should be strongly defended.

GREAT!!!

The press has the right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities

We all know that celebrities are a source of news nowadays. People enjoy knowing about them without limit and without respecting their privacy. Many famous cannot avoid seeing how different media sources intrude into their lives without being able to do anything about it. Although it is believed that fame leads to press pressure inevitably, I argue with celebrities.


Firstly, we all ought to have the liberty of deciding either making public our lives public or not. As a result, the paparazzo industry should agree celebrities' decision and respect it. To sum up, (not here) we all should care more about ourselves and let everyone live their life.



Secondly, we all must be conscious about how many much money our gossiping produces until the extreme point of having created such a big industry as the paparazzo is. We should not permit that some privileged earn money at our expense just for our anxiety of knowing about others' life.



In conclusion, I am convinced that press should not be able to publish whatever they decide and even less modifying real facts in order to generate morbidity. I feel that celebrities, as every human being, must be respected and able to preserve their privacy.

The press has the right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities.





Nowadays, in our country is more followed a Tv program about celebrities than a cientific report. People prefers to know what happens with B.Esteban sentimental life than the improvements of cientifical world what is, in my opinion, a shame.



Taking the place of a celebrity, i can understand them, but the power of the society and the public media is stronger ,moreover, the high amount of money that Tvs earn with the private life of celebrities, makes impossible to finish with this discusting bussines.



It is a reality that paparazzi would not exist if people did not follow those tipical tele5 programs.The public harassment that celebrities suffer seems to be justified by, how not, the money.



In conclusion, i have to say that we can have a lot of opinions about the topic but one thing is true, this poor mind society is getting worse day per day and while this happens, celebrities will not have private life.
