Media and popular culture are in a symbiotic relationship (Betsy, 2008). Without the advertisement and news through the media, popular culture cannot be possibly formed and spread out in the public. At the same time, all sorts of gossips, scandals, and trends can be the central sources for the media. However, the problem rises due to the greed of the media to report scoops and make issues among the public; they trigger side effects.

All the American media are based on freedom and their loyalty to deliver news to citizens. However, the media’s nature of open-mindedness infringes rights of celebrities. To be specific, paparazzi who are responsible for capturing intriguing moments of celebrities sometimes become too eager that they go beyond the line. Their aggressive work damages the rights of celebrities by straining them physically and mentally. In fact, celebrities can maximize promotion effects through the active photographs taken by paparazzi, and the frequent exposure to media provides them with more opportunities to earn their reputation. However, the demerits of paparazzi outweigh the merits. Celebrities, the symbol of popular culture,
