Write a journal entry discussing the prevalence of celebrities in the news for crime-related stories (whether as suspects, offenders, or as having experienced victimization of a crime).
-Do you think that these stories are truly newsworthy, or only make the news because of the involvement of a celebrity? Incorporate and discuss at least TWO examples of specific celebrities who have recently received a lot of media attention related to criminal behavior, and analyze their portrayal in a few different media sources.
-Do you feel these stories would have come to public attention if they had been committed or experienced by an individual not of celebrity status? Why or why not?
-Do you think criminal behavior is covered differently when it involves an individual or group of people of celebrity status? Be sure to explain the differences in coverage.
-Do you think that celebrity status helps or hurts when facing criminal charges? Be sure to include a Works Cited of the sources you analyzed. (CH3 – 4, News Values)
