All types of media have a great influence on public lives.

If we want that
or not, we can't escape the effect of the media on our lives. Some people
agree that the media pay too much attention to the personal lives of
famous people. Others disagree. In my view, I believe that the media is
concentrating on the public figures' and celebrities' lives too much for
two reasons.

The main reason is that that what the consumer demands. Most of the
audience and the news reader want to know everything about their
preferred famous one. For example, I like Opera Winfrey a lot. So, I love
to see and read anything connecting to her. I usually pay more attention
to the magazine if there is any news about her. As a result, she has
inspired me with all her actions, and I make her my model role that I want
to follow. When I know more about her personal life, that will encourage
me to do things in the good way as she does. From my personal
experience I could say that all media types show what the public
demands for.

Second, when these media get more information about famous lives, they
increase their income. For the newspapers and magazines they will
increase their sales and with television, this will increase their audience.
For instance, I read an article in the newspaper last week about one of
our famous singers in Iraq. The article was talking about his marriage and
his personal life. When I left to my work I told my friend about it and she
is a big lover for that singer. She left the work to by this newspaper, even
though she never likes it before. That's only because she wants to know
everything connecting to that singer that she love. Although it may look
as an extreme example, but it is so true that everybody wants to know
about celebrities' lives.
In conclusion, I agree that all media talk too much about famous figures'
lives. Not only do the public want to know everything about them. But
they also do that to get more benefits and more income.
