  • How compatible is the freedom of the press with celebrities’ right to privacy ?
  • Freedom of the press is an essential right for the actual society. Freedom of the media is the freedom of communication and expression. Press is a source of entertainment and information for people around the world. They want to know what’s going on around the world. Some prefer gossips medias. This is where freedom of the press and right to privacy meet.

They share their lifes in the social networks like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Some celebrities do the opposite choice and prefer to keep their life for themselves.

The point of view of the « gossip » medias is that the general public have a right to know personal information about those with status as a public figure.
