Question

it is alleged that all over the world celebrities feel that media infringes their right to dignity , freedom and privacy. If you were appointed as a south African press association (SAPA) president, discuss five corrective measures you would take to address such a situation.

Answer 1

At best, I would recommend a code of ethics for the press to follow regarding celebrities. The problem is enforcing these codes as many of these journalists would like to catch celebrities when they least expect it. Also there are publications that pay for these kinds of photos and articles as sensationalism sells. It needs to be discourage but how is the problem.
