From the Paper
"They are aggressive and patient. They are hard working and enterprising. They are informed and competitive. They know their market and when and where to catch an image. They are the paparazzi and for better or for worse, they have become a part of the modern culture (Wiemer A32). 'Paparazzi' is said to have evolved from a character named Paparazzo in Italian film director Federico Fellini's 1959 movie "La Dolce Vita." It is a fusion of two words that mean 'flashbulb popping gnat' (Ehrlich 11). And as long as there is a demand for pictures of celebrities and other high profile people, there will be paparazzi (Ehrlich 11)."

Abstract
This paper looks at the paparazzi, who, for better or for worse, have become a part of the modern culture. It discusses where they cross the line from merely taking photographs of celebrities to invading their privacy. It shows how the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, shifted the public and judicial climate, especially in California, and drew new boundaries for paparazzi and how there was such an outrage of sentiment against the paparazzi that Hollywood stars won an important victory in their anti-paparazzi campaign. It examines how the 1999 privacy law is a victory for those lobbying to curb the intrusions of the media into their private lives and whether it can be considered a threat to freedom of speech.
From the Paper
"The paparazzi fill a need, and not just for the publishing world. Many celebrities would have to hire their own photographers to catalog their activities (Wiemer A32). They save the subjects they photograph the trouble of coordinating their own publicity in every city they visit (Wiemer A32). The paparazzi have been a fixture of Hollywood since its beginning. There is a lasting symbiotic relationship between those with their Nikons at the latest movie premiere at the Mann's Chinese Theater and the parade of glittered stars whose careers often depend on the right kind of exposure (Blair 1). They need each other. Each feeds the other to create the aura that feeds them both. And the public craves that aura of fame to feed its own dreams (Levendosky 1B)."

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the parapazzi (journalistic photographers) and celebrities, which has been bought into the spotlight by the death of Princess Diana in a car crash trying to escape from them. It evaluates the lack of clear cut boundaries when it comes to the paparazzi and their rights and proposes a new law to be enacted that will restrict the photographing of the famous to public events or events that the paparazzi is invited to by the star in question. Anything outside of those boundaries should be considered a crime. It reviews several famous court cases on the topic of invasion of privacy of celebrities and argues that celebrities should not have to give up their right to basic privacy simply by becoming famous.
From the Paper
"For many years the press and the famous were friends. The press attended openings of films, causes that were important to the stars, and other events in which the public had an interest, and the celebrity benefited from their presence. It began to change several decades ago when the press began to invade the private lives of the celebrities that they covered. Over the years there have been several famous court cases in which the celebrity has asked for relief from such stalking and harassment from the press."

Abstract
This paper uses Rosalind Coward's theory of the power of the reader to construct a discussion around the balance of hegemonic power between the paparazzi photographer, its subject, the newspaper or magazine, and its reader. Specific reference sto the case of David Beckham's alleged affair with Rebecca Loos.
From the Paper
"Exactly why so many readers of newspapers have such an interest in images of celebrities in their private lives is worth consideration. Coward explains that 'Western culture has become obsessed with looking and recording images of what it has seen' , and that taking pleasure in 'looking' is enjoying the feeling of security that comes from knowing that you are distanced and that the subject cannot look back at you. So, to apply the theory to people reading tabloid newspapers, the human need to be informed is fulfilled in a way that is as little unsettling as possible by looking at photographs of celebrities. We can gain information about them and their lives, but without the risk of them gaining any information about us. Besides this, there is an element of self-importance linked to looking at photographs of other people: the reader enjoys the position of authority from which they are free and able to judge, criticise or praise the subject of the photograph."
