The news media should be blamed for the unhealthy paparazzi culture and going to the extremes for sensational news. How far do you agree?
I partially agree with this question only because of a few reasons which I will mention in my points in this blog prompt. This question needs further examination and we will not be able to determine the answer to this question. Firstly, I feel that the news media should be blamed partially for the unhealthy paparazzi culture because they are the ones who exaggerated the news. They exaggerated the news because they want to attract more readers and earn more money. But they did not care about the feelings of the victims. How would they feel when their personal information is exposed. Will it be fair for them? In some cases, the news media even cooked up a story that was not there in the first place just to earn money. How will the victims feel after they were being maligned? Thus, the news media should be blamed for exaggerating the news without considering about the feelings of the victims involved in these cases.
However, we should not put the blame entirely on the news media. There are cases where the news seemed to be true. In these cases, we should also direct the blame to the people who are much involved in these cases. They are the ones who started these scandals first, so they should have the solutions to resolve these problems. Thus, we cannot place the blame entirely on the news media and these are also several factors we can consider. Thus, I only partially agree that the news media should be blamed for the unhealthy paparazzi culture and going to the extremes for sensational news.
