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 agree that news media should be blamed for the unhealthy paparazzi culture and going to extremes to get sensational news to a certain extent.

The news media should be blamed for this unhealthy paparazzi culture and going to extremes to get sensational news just so that they can increase the number of readers and earn more profit. And how would they spice up their news to make more people want to read their news? By stooping to this level of course, such as phone hacking, spying and many others. They intrude into many people's private life, such as the famous, riches. I believe that everyone have the right to have a private life and thus, paparazzi should not intrude into the private life of others.

However, we should not entirely blame the news media. We too must blame ourselves, the readers for wanting to read sensational news about the private lives of others. As we are interested in those sensational news, news medias would do anything that can to find what we want (sensational news) to increase their popularity so that we will buy their newspaper, thus allowing them to gain a profit. Although it was obvious that peeking into the private lives of others is wrong, readers continue to ignore this and continue reading tabloid. Instead of blaming the news media, we should really think over what we have done to cause this problem.

Lastly, the law did not do anything to stop this paparazzi culture, resulting the news media to go to the extreme to get juicy news to keep the readers alive. As the law did not do anything to stop it, this paparazzi culture slowly grew out of hand. However despite the situation getting worse and worse, the law still do not do something about it.

In conclusion, I believe that all of the above should be blamed as we should not intrude into other people's private life. Also, we mus do something to stop is culture from going out of hand.
