Limitations to Papparazzi
Throughout the world it has become an issue that celebrity stars cannot have full freedom. Many tragedies, car accidents have happened and harm our community just because one decided to stalk another. Many of the audience does not realize this and reality of paparazzi. Sean Burke a papparazzi reform initiative writes personal experience from the issue. He argues that Paparazzi are all about the money, stalking biggest stars, breaking rules, becoming danger to public safety, and a cause of death. Gabe Rottman a representative of American Civil liberties union argues that constitution prtotects everyones's rights. To burke he views this limitation differently. Sean Burkes believes that there should be a limit to paparazi.
Our Constitution says " We're all equal" but some people misinterpret this. To paparazzis equality means to take pictures of any who they want, they dont realize they're invaded somebody else's privacy. As we all know the paparazzis are a business and a job. Photographers need to take pictures to receive a paycheck, to feed their families and they want to keep their jobs. To Paparazis this can be putting themselves at rick, but more to the public. Burke argues that " Rules rarely matter", and that this job "it's all about money". For people to take this job they must break laws.
No one wants their privacy invaded or to be stalked. No one likes to be watched "24/7" but in reality big stars are. Getting to be famous does not mean you have to be observed at every single move you make whether is for good or bad. It is very intimidating that you cannot step a foot out because you know that at the very least there must be someone who is watching over you,and that's not God. According to Burke's experience of being a paparazzi surely makes just anybody agree in enforcing a limit.
When someone breaks a rule it puts everyone in danger. Being paparazzi is not as easy as it sounds, you must always keep your eyes on that

    of celebrities. Jess Cagle has written on these despicable people, frightening young innocent children, just to get a headline from it. The disdain Cagle has on these people is evident. “As a journalist, I'm embarrassed by the behavior of some paparazzi, these jerks who would frighten a kid to get rise out of her famous mom.” Although Cagle believes the issue has to come to an end, the First Amendment could potentially take a hit.…

    Celebrities can’t walk a block down the street without being recognized or tracked by the paparazzi. And most celebrities, if you ask them, will admit that they can’t stand it, but there’s nothing that they can do about it. Their every move is being photographed so they don’t have much say in what gets said about them in tabloids. Their image depends on what the press decides to publish about them. But I believe that they have some control over their perception because they can control what they do, say, and post on social media.…

    It's time to admit the obvious: The public enjoys sensational journalism, and the media are only giving them what they demand. The recent “Roby Ridge” standoff in Downstate Illinois was thoroughly relished by the public, even while it was blaming “the media” for prolonging it. People who say they deplore paparazzi journalism are approximately as sincere as smokers who lecture you on how bad their habit is.…

    The Importance Of Privacy

    • 637 Words

    Celebrity has no right to privacy because everything they happen in their lives would be spread in a quick second and would be all over social media. If the celebrity is popular they would have less privacy and rights to enjoy due to paparazzi and all the drama they have to handle. There are no charges or harm to paparazzi so people keep doing it by harassing the celebrity personal space by stalking them. I feel like the fans and reporters should respect celebrity's right of privacy because they're normally people like us and should be treated equally. They are being watched for what they do in their everyday life and being judged by foes. I believe the government should start making charges on fans or reporters by taking photos of the celebrity without their consent and posting it on the internet. This has been an issue for a large amount of…

    Disagree. The public does NOT have a right to know every move a celebrity makes...and in some cases, people really go too far. Examples? Recent reports about those hospital workers in L.A. and NY who were snooping through celebrity health records for no good reason other than being nosy... or the case of that fan who accessed records of a singer for the sole purpose of stalking him.…

    No major celebrity can avoid them. Emerging from cars, entering glittering parties or trying to take a secluded vacation, the glamour figures of the ‘90s are hounded mercilessly by the men-and a few women-who wield long lenses and a brazen shamelessness (Maclean, 38). Today, paparazzi’s tread on private property, film celebrities during intimate moments, and even go as far as stalking a public figure.…

    I just hate the fact that people are bound to go through public scrutiny just because they are celebs. It risks their safety and the media plays a huge role in jeopardizing the images of these celebrities. Celebrities should have the right to live their lives without the never-ending presence of the media. This will greatly reduce the degree to which celebrity safety is threathened, and will reduce pressure on them…

    The social media nowadays are booming with countless news on celebrities. Countless celebrity gossips of who is currently dating who, what they did when they had gotten drunk, which celebrity was arrested and even which starlet has ruined whose relationship (Ortiz n.d.). The gossips on celebrities from media are endless. So who are these celebrities and why are they making headlines so much and invading our new feeds? Well, celebrities are also known as public figures and they are idolized by the general public (Duarte 2014). Be it for the good or for the bad reasons for gaining fame, if the public finds interest in a person from their singing, dancing, acting or even down to the silliest things they do, that person gets well-known, then the news will start to spread and the paparazzi which are the media will come along and that person will start to become more and more well-known. That person automatically becomes a celebrity (Duarte 2014). For years now, newspapers are known for having a reputation on exclusive celebrity news that involves the private lives of celebrities (Hassan 2011). The most common problem encountered by celebrities is the invasion of their privacy. This problem has been around for quite a while with numerous debates on whether these celebrities should or should not be entitled to privacy. Celebrities often press charges against newspapers or the paparazzi in order to prevent them from publishing and revealing any possible misjudgements (Hassan 2011) and yet, the relationship between the two, celebrities and the media are in such that it is perhaps that one cannot at all exist or survive without the other (Hassan 2011). Yes, celebrities are people too but are they entitled to privacy and have the right to have a private life? Although celebrities should have a right to a private life, as celebrities and public figures are also people therefore entitled to some space of privacy in their lives, it is more accurate to say that…
