Celebrity privacy (Celebrity privacy)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
On a personal note, I chose this article because I am interested in Hollywood culture and how the media has transformed the way society has interacted with celebrities. Everyday, you see unsolciited pictures of celebrities, and with accessible and more advanced ways to be able to find out sensitive information has posed a danger so some celebrities, or at least crossed boundaries that should be addressed. This matters because celebrities, whether people believe it or not, are still humans, with emotions, and although they may live in a very different reality than us, still deserve basic rights like the rest of us. My preliminary impression was of course, a discussion of what privacy is and how it is defined in relation to celebrities. I also assumed a portion of how the media has impacted the privacy of celebrities, and even fan culture.

Evaluate the article
The author had a good lead. They defined what what categorizing celebrities (with Wiki links) and in how, in what ways, privacy is related to them. They provide what could be considered almost thesis, highlighting the different sections and why they are to discuss them in the introduction. The content of the wiki page is full. Their references, however, could be elevated. They lack bias, offering different perspectives that scholars have offered, as well as different examples with different celebrities, to illustrate that broadness celebrity privacy provides. To provide effective support, the author does provide ample information regarding paparazzi, fans, the effects of privacy, or lack thereof, on celebrities, etc. Furthermore, they do offer an international component, on how children celebrity privacy laws and other right of publicity for celebrities in other countries. This makes for a more well-rounded, informative article. The article sounds jumbled at points, and doesn't provide enough background when continuing thoughts in other sections. It is well organized, but messy in wording and referencing. I think it's a good article, but could include sections that expands on how technology has affected celebrity privacy, considering new apps and new culture that has risen in the last few years.
