Abstract

Media Matters
Scardino, Albert | September 29, 1997 issue

add to cart   close window

After the death of Diana, Princes of Wales along with Dodi Fayed, British public sentiment, guided by the public relations expertise of Harrods, has switched to targeting independent journalists who work with a camera, the paparazzi. When the hostility against the paparazzi and the tabloids and the non-believers washes across the Atlantic, it will search for new targets. The private lives of public officials may be one of the first subjects to become taboo. Diana's death could accomplish what Vince Foster's final plea could not, the setting of a new boundary to public inquiry, self-imposed by editors but every bit as effective as law.
