The paparazzi have no respect for people’s rights. They lie, stalk celebrities- basically do anything to get a good story. They drive celebrities over the edge! But how far will they push them? Will they one day go to far? Celebs that have low self esteem- such as Brittney Spears- are constantly attacked by paparazzi. They could eventually go as far as killing themselves. Is that still worth the story?

Everyone is so interested in the negative, scandalous news, we’re overlooking how far of a breach in personal privacy this is. I mean, wouldn’t it be a much better to publish something worth reading thats not as invasive? The world needs to learn to be positive and look for the silver lining in life. There is always good qualities in people, yet that’s not what sells. In the future the paparazzi is only going to get worse if we don’t change our ways and we could eventually push celebs to the brink. Let us know what you think of paparazzi. Should we stop interfering with the lives of celebrities altogether? Or should we just simply change our ways in getting the story? Is there a chance that the paparazzi might finally back off on their own?

But if we do put a stop to the paparazzi, then all the jobs linked to celebrity news could be dangerously crippled. Which is worse; invasive personal stalkers, or a huge loss in jobs?
