"The news media should be blamed for the unhealthy paparazzi culture and going to the extremes for sensational news. How far do you agree?"
Firstly, the readers play a part for the unhealthy paparazzi culture. Although readers may not realise, the paparazzi are going to the extremes for sensational news just to provide the needs for readers. Readers have not been reluctant in knowing about such news of which they feel are juicy news, having said that, they even buy tabloid news, to an extend where the sales of tabloid news are usually higher when such news are in display. Hence, this has led the news media to feel the need of finding more of such "juicy" and sensational news in order to satisfy the readers' desires of reading them. Therefore, in this case, the readers are responsible for such unhealthy paparazzi culture, as they are the ones desiring those sensational news.
Secondly, the law had done nothing to stop this culture, which plays a huge role for the unhealthy culture. It was due to their selfishness that they refuse to openly stop the culture. Being afraid of being the stories on the news themselves, caused the law enforcers to dare not take a leap of faith to prevent these sensational news to be published. This indeed has led to more and more of such sensational news to be dug out and published, causing there to be an unhealthy paparazzi culture.
However, I do agree that the news media should take some responsibility for the unhealthy culture. If not for their desire to earn more money from the extreme numbers of readers, these sensational news would still be kept in silence. I feel that they reserve the right to stop all these digging out of news and gossips which interests the people. Personally, I few that if such news were never introduced, people would naturally seek other types of news which would perhaps interest them. The news media should hold some kind of responsibility as well, for the unhealthy paparazzi culture, as well for going the extremes for sensational news.
