tokens: Overemphasizing on personal lives of famous people by media As a mass media majoring student, I think that it's true that media is overemphasizing the personal lives of famous people in this modern society . In my point of view, disadvantages of overemphasizing on personal lives of famous people by media outweigh its advantages . My reasons include the following: It is no doubt that the media provide information about an event that recently occurred somewhere and which is important to the people . The most important of all is that the essence of coverage accurate and not based on gossip . However, journalism is changing . Some reporters are more interested with gossip than news relating to public issues, paying too much attention to the personal lives of famous people . First of all, gossip involves misleading images for the purpose of boosting newspaper sales or exciting public opinion . The audience may see a lot of photos in the kind of reports, which seems to tell a story . Moreover, it is unfair that the ridiculous coverage may be a vexation for the famous people who are reported . Furthermore, sensationalism distract the viewers from public or social problems . The media face the challenge that media executives must choose the content, which can attract the audience . Thus, these personal reports of famous people, unimportant information or distorted stories, will not solve problem related with the society . In other words, yellow journalism block the viewers from significant news, such as education, environment and public issues . Based on the above discussion, I agree with that paying too much attention on personal lives of famous people may be a serious problem .
