On August 31st, 1997 Princess Diana of Wales was killed in a car crash that was caused
by the paparazzi. Paparazzi are professional photographers who only take pictures of
famous people and sell them to newspapers, magazines, and other publications. In the
wake of Diana's tragic death, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his government
might try to enact laws to crack down on invasive media. Since the tragedy, Paris has
Princess Diana's fatal accident has raised questions about the media's role and behavior
when covering celebrities. The media coverage, both national and international, was
intense, and the spotlight of public attention got brighter as her life unfolded. She often
was described as the most photographed woman in the world, appearing on the cover of
People magazine a record 47 times.

"(Diana) has been hounded literally do death," reported The London Times. "The fact
we're hearing that a man actually took photographs of her dying in the car shows what
scum these people are and how far they actually go. But when it comes to photographs of
famous people, there is a lot of money at stake. It becomes sheer greed on the
photographers' behalf. Cover photos of Diana for tabloids have fetched up to $200,000.
Over time, she became the victim of hidden cameras, some of which were installed in the
London gym where she exercised. Photographers armed with long-lens cameras stalked
Diana during her vacations. But one of the photographers said Sunday that while the
media may have contributed to Diana's death, they were not solely responsible.
Newspapers are also to blame.
The German tabloid Bild instantly posted pictures online and in their print edition of
rescue workers and the mangled Mercedes that Princess Diana was in. The tabloid also
set up a chat room to debate the use of the photo. A letter to the public is on the site,
stating "Bild did not buy any photographs of the bodies of Princess Diana and Dodi and
does not intend to buy such photographs." Just because the paper denied buying pictures
they are still guilty of supporting the paparazzi
French authorities confiscated some film taken by paparazzi, according to reports. Some
photographers were arrested after allegedly tailing and then not aiding the Princess of
Wales and her companion, Dodi al Fayed, who also died in the accident. U.S. tabloids
such as the National Enquirer have pledged not to buy or publish the rumored photos.
Still, media critics and online editors say it's only a matter of time before more gruesome
photos are available internationally via cyberspace and the tabloids.
It's going to leak all over the place, online and off," said Jon Katz, media critic for Wired
magazine. "The Internet has made it impossible to completely contain these images. This
is the biggest story in the world and people are going to want to see them--it's human
nature. There are going to be fake photos and real photos...It can't be controlled.
"Television's marathon coverage of Princess Diana's death is only driving the desire, Katz
added. "They are contributing to the appetite. [Yet] the photos are not going to appear on
mainstream news sites."
In the coming weeks, all these tabloid editors who are now acting so aghast and self-
righteous in refusing to buy the Princess Diana crash/death scene photos will be falling
all over each other, making large cash offers to the surviving bodyguard to tell his
'exclusive' story of what he witnessed that fateful evening," said one newsgroup post.
She was dating somebody; this doesn't have anything to do with the public's 'right to
know.' Famous people should have the right to lead normal lives just like the rest of us.
Instead, the paparazzi stalks with total disregard to any moral standards regarding privacy
and human right.
There are laws which can be enforced when dealing with reporters. The most common is
the restraining order. However, photographers can legally follow you home, go on your
property, and even take pictures of you. If a reporter was to repeatedly continue this after
being asked to leave, a stalking or criminal harassment charge can be constituted under
the criminal code. Even though celebrities have this right by law, charging every probing
journalist would have half of Hollywood in the courtroom for most of their lives
Yet the death of the Princess Diana was the subject of more newspaper coverage than the
most dramatic events of the Second World War and set a media record. No other subject
in the agency's archives, which go back to 1880, compared with the coverage devoted to
Diana's death, funeral and subsequent stories. In death, there was even more press interest
than during her life. This is very unethical
Princess Diana's tragic death and the presence of paparazzi at the crash scene raised
concerns about privacy laws and press freedom in Britain. During her funeral service in
Westminster Abbey, Earl Spencer, her brother stated that Princess Diana talked to him
endlessly of getting away from England, mainly because of the treatment that she
received at the hands of the newspapers. Therefore, there should be strict laws placed on
the media to limit the stalking of public figures and to stop the paparazzi from causing
another similar tragedy on a victim of paparazzi greed.
