These are photographers who will relentlessly pursue celebrities in the hope of getting - 15 an interesting, unposed picture, which may make them a great deal of money. The plural word ‘paparazzi comes from the character of a photographer in a Frederico Fellini film. Fellini called him 20. ‘Paparazzo ~ which is Italian dialect ] Has our obsession for mosquito - and described him as Tir) Cra ‘a buzzing insect, hovering, darting, stinging’. So, i's easy to see why the name stuck for this type of photographer 25 in general.

But for I some reason, you give them a camera and that is allowed.’ Sienna’s American counterparts have similar complaints against the paparazzi. In the past eighteen months there have been several 55. car accidents involving celebrities who were being followed by photographers. Film stars ‘Scarlett Johannson and Reese Witherspoon have allegedly had minor crashes while being ‘chesed by paparazzi in cars. This kind of 60 celebrity-chasing is not new.

HISTORY OF THE PULITZER PRIZES In the latter years of the 19th century, Joseph Pulitzer stood out as the very embodiment of American journalism. Hungarian-bom, an intense indomitable figure, Pulitzer was the most skilful of newspaper publishers, and a visionary who tichly endowed his profession. His innovative New York World and St. Louis Post-Dispatch reshaped newspaper journalism, Pulitzer was the first to call for the training of Journalists at university level. In iting his 1904 will, which made provision for the establishment of the Pulitzer Prizes, Pulitzer specified the number and types of awards. The body, later renamed the Pulitzer Prize Board, could also withhold any award where entries fell below its standards of excellence. ‘And indeed, over the years, it has increased the mumber of awards to 21 and introduced poetry, music, and photography. In 1997, the 150th anniversary of Pulitzers birth, two fundamental adjustments were introduced. In recognition of the growing importance of ontine journalism, the submission bby newspapers of online presentations was allowed. * Until then, the prize had always gone to composers of classical music. The Board decided to broaden the definition and entry requirements to bring mainstream music into the process. Thus, in 1997 the prize went to Wynton Marsalis's Blood on the Fields, which has strong jazz elements. The Board also acknowledged previously overlooked George Gershwin and Duke Eltington. 4__ In 1963 Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? was believed to have too many allusions to sex and its dialogue was considered too rough to receive the ‘Prize. Yet, in 1993 the prize went to Tony Kushner’ Angels in America: Millennium Approaches, a play that dealt with problems of homosexuality and AIDS and was full of obscenities. Over the years the Pulitzer board has at times been targeted by critics as the prize was hardly ever in syne with popular inclinations. ‘____ In journalism, the major newspapers such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post, have harvested many awards, but also small, little-known papers have been recognized for exposing corruption. Get ready for Matura 5 The formal announcement of the prizes is made each April by the president of Columbia University, which Pulitzer established as the seat of the administration for the prizes. ‘ He wrote, lam deeply interested in the progress and elevation of journalism, having spent my life in that profession, regarding it as a noble profession and one of ‘unequaled importance for its influence upon the minds and morals of the people. I desire to assist in attracting to this profession young men of character and ability, also to help those already engaged in the profession to acquire the highest moral and intellectual training: ‘A But, aware of the dynamic progress of society, he established an overseeing advisory board and gave it power to make changes to the system of awarding the prizes. B In hs will he left Columbia $2,000,000 for the establishment of a School of Journalism, one fourth of which was to be used for prizes. © Many, if not most, of the honored books have not been on bestseller lists, and many of the winning plays have been staged off-Broadway or in regional theatres. D Similarly in literature, the board has grown less conservative over the years in matters of taste. E The other major change was in music, a category added in 1943. F The Prizes are perceived as a major encouragement for high-quality journalism focusing worldwide attention on ‘American achievements in letters and music. 3) KSUREELEEETIELG match the words from both columns to make phrases to introduce an opinion. 1 tomy tome 2 inmy askme 3. the way mind 4 Ifyou Ise it 5 Itseems view ‘4 Do the Matura exam task.
