No longer will it be looked upon as a source of decent and reliable information. If the stories are not juicy enough, juicy ones can be fabricated. Neither common decency nor professional ethics will stand in their way. The motive here is obviously purely commercial. The newspaper, magazine, radio station or television network that adopts this kind of reporting is interested only in profits.
Scandals increase circulation and bring in more advertising revenue.
Those who work in such situations are in constant competition with one another to ferret out scandals and get exclusive pictures since they know this is the way to make money. There is little point in blaming the people who do these things. True, the lives of the famous are not the exclusive property of these reporters but there should be a line that separates private lives from public ones. And reporters must be aware of the line and not cross it. Because, if once crossed, the lives of the celebrities become hell and the reporters are in deeper and deeper.
