Shifts in what people think may not really change celebrity journalism to be more responsible because of a few tricky problems:
What People Want: Many viewers still love dramatic stories more than true and ethical reporting. This makes it tough for news outlets to change their ways.
Money Matters: Media companies need lots of clicks and views to make money. Sometimes, they choose profit over good journalism.
Fascination with Celebrities: People’s endless interest in celebrity lives can drown out the push for better practices in celebrity news.
To tackle these problems, we really need to:
Teach people how to understand and think critically about the media they consume.
Encourage audiences to demand fair and ethical reporting.
Hold media companies accountable for their actions through rules and regulations.
