let’s say that most of them are just disseminating information. But often, they add personal remarks that are not actually needed and very irritating.

Before I used to admire a showbiz reporter because of her flowery words and scoops. Now I realized that she’s not good influence for she’s not only deteriorating media ethics but also destroying names and reputations.

Reply: That would explain why the kind of reporting in showbusiness at present now cannot be classified as entertainment journalism. How can it be even called “journalism” if such reporting does not adhere to the highest professional and ethical standards? The field of entertainment should be appreciated in its broadest sense to include not just films and music but also other less popular aspects like plays and poetry readings. In addition, there should be substantial coverage given to BOTH popular culture and counter-culture. All the best!
