Recent
statements of social media policies which appear here
(http://www.fastcompany.com/1668368/corporate-social-media-policies-good-mediocre-and-ugly)
assume that the media are objective, and have the public's interest
at heart, but is this assumption true and demonstrable?
What
media with the public's interest in mind would keep celebrating
Hollywood's celebrities?
What
purpose do reports of celebrities' arrests, divorces, extended
wardrobes, make-up decisions, hair-style changes, and flirtations
serve other than public relations to support celebrities' careers?
What
purpose do reports of celebrities' drug problems, alcoholism,
addictions, mental illness, and their children's drug problems,
alcoholism, addictions, and mental illness serve other than to
suggest the public's children follow suit?
Certainly,
every celebrity does not need to be a model of decorum, with cameras
catching them attending parent-teacher meetings and cutting their
grass while wearing full-length jumpsuits. Nevertheless, it would be
a relief to see the media TCB, instead of hyping the next movie.
