"The Press endorse the basic tenets of capitalism - private enterprise, profit, free market, and rights of property ownership" (Curran & Seaton. 2003)
PR & Celebrity
Fulled by mass media, technological innovation and converging media platforms (particularly social media) The masses are into celebrity and this is why it is so popular, with the rise in social media, celebrities have been able to become even more popular by connecting with fans via social media such as twitter, instagram etc. This is on a new level of how fans can get particularly close with celebrities they follow. However, how much privacy does this leave for the celebrity.
Celebrities commercialise themselves through promotion, publicity and advertising. Show like Big Brother and I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, are ways in which people can see the celebrities out of there normal celeb state and in a new light, for most celebs this is good publicity and will another jobs from this like an interview in Heat Magazine. Whether it be for good or bad publicity it will be some sort of publicity.
This is where the narrative of public and private persona come in. What is authentic and what isn't. And that is part of the gossip fans will have, and is part of the fun in following celebrities.
The kind of figures of photo paparazzi is $50,000 for a picture of a celeb on their own, $100,000 of the celeb with them and their partner, and triple this if the photographer can catch one cheating on one another.
"A free and diverse media are an indispensable part of the demographic process... if one voice becomes too powerful, this process is placed in jeopardy and democracy." (Conservative Party Statement.)
"The expansion of state-sponsored journalism is a threat to the plurality and independence of news provision, which are so important for our democracy. Dumping free, state-sponsored news on the market makes it incredibly difficult for journalism to flourish on the internet. (James Murdoch. 2009)
