Why Do Advertisers Get a Pass When It Comes to the Blame For ‘Pedorazzi’ Photographers?
Posted in: Uncategorized
Occasionally the celebrity-industrial complex isn’t completely awful. Case in point: the recent announcements by a number of media outlets that they won’t run unauthorized paparazzi images of the children of celebrities.
Entertainment Tonight went first, announcing Feb. 20 that it was “showing support for ‘Veronica Mars’ star Kristen Bell and her husband, ‘Parenthood’ actor Dax Shepard, in their fight against paparazzi who harass celebrities’ children in order to get photos.” Bell and Shepard, ET noted, “have passionately campaigned, especially through their personal social-media platforms, to motivate others and bring more attention to this cause.”
People was next, with Jess Cagle publishing a note Feb. 25 saying that “when I took over as editorial director of People in January, I told our staff that People would not publish photos of celebs’ kids taken against their parents’ wishes.”
