Media Crossing the Line:5 Paragraph Essay
What is media? Media is a section of news specially designed to reach a large audience. Some times media is taken to the wrong level. People say its just for "entertainment", but sometimes it's the wrong kind of entertainment. This so called entertainment gives out celebrities personal information. Some times people need to mind their own business. They are willing to hurt someone feelings and expose them in a cruel way, just to get paid.
An example of media crossing the line would be the Fantasia story. The publishers are putting out that she is going to be sued for stealing a woman's husband. Also, that she took an overdose and tried to commit suicide. Even though she admitted to trying to commit suicide, it that any one's business? it sure isn't. People has it out that she tried to commit suicide even before she had the interview and admitted it. She said, " I was so depressed by all the drama." Other people have twisted the story around.
Second story, Braylon Edwards is out of jail "FOR NOW." He has been released from custody following his DWI in NY. Braylon faces two misdemeanor counts of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and one misdemeanor count of operating a motor vehicle while impaired. This no one's business why he was in jail or his charges. It may be embarrassing to him. They should not try to put down on celebrities, because they have a career and a name to live with. If someone says things about them, they have to live with that for the rest of their life. The whole U.S. will think of his as a bad person, despite everything else.
Too much, is getting into people's personal business. Exposing them, when they don't want to. To me privacy is very important, but to the publishers and press; they don't really care about privacy. Media outlets are very accountable for their actions, if they didn't want something to get out, they shouldn't release it to the public. They are people that follow celebrities around and spy on them; most celebrities want their events to be private. Privacy is not respected in media. Sometimes they tell lies. People do interviews to clarify what is happening, so people can't make up stories. Yes, I would say we live in a media-frenzied world. Every time you turn on the news, it's always something about some one's personal information. Sometimes when people broadcast their business, they feel embarrassed; because everyone knows them, because they are a celebrity.
In conclusion, soem media isn't wrong. When the media starts to get into people's personal information, it gets bad. If they wanted everyone to know their information, they will get on TV and tell you. It's not for a publisher to follow them around ans spy to get information. That is very desperate for money. Media is a job, but I would not get that kind of job. It's not all bad, but I sometimes is.
