"News media should be blamed for the unhealthy paparazzi and going to the extreme for sensational news. How far do you agree?"

To a small extend, I feel that news media should be blamed for the unhealthy paparazzi and sensational news. In order for news media to make money, the news should be attractive. To do so, juicy news would be the ideal source. People would be more interested in these gossip news than important but boring news. Thus, as time passed, the unhealthy paparazzi culture is encouraged.

However, if we think carefully, if nobody is interested in reading these news, there would be no unhealthy paparazzi culture. In other words, if no one wants to read juicy news, then the news media would not go around and hunt for them, creating the unhealthy paparazzi culture. Therefore, paparazzi culture is not totally caused by the news media and it should not be blamed for the culture.

The unhealthy paparazzi culture can also be caused by the celebrities themselves. Some of these celebrities wants to get more fame, popularity and attention from the public so as to help their careers. Most fans of celebrities would be interested to know more about everything of them. The fastest way for these celebrities to spread fame and get attention is through the practice of unhealthy paparazzi culture. Therefore, the news media is not totally to be blamed for the unhealthy paparazzi culture.
In conclusion, the news media should not be blamed for the unhealthy paparazzi culture. In fact, the readers and celebrities should be blamed for this unhealthy culture.
