I recently watched a famous TV series Gossip Girl. In the show there are rich high school students living in New York City. They post all the rumors on the website called gossip girl. Weather the rumors are true or not, whatever is on the website becomes a huge issue among the students. It seems a lot like what happens to celebrities in media. There are always some rumors about them and sometime those rumors make celebrities go through a hard time. If the media does not exist, celebrities would not have suffered because of all the rumors. However, media is the source that made celebrities stand where they are right now. The relationship between celebrities and media can be defined as symbiosis. Although media is not always helping celebrities, media is necessary in order for celebrities to exist.
One of the main characters in the show, Blair, leads to spread out rumors and likes to hurt people she doesn’t like. It can be seen as abusing the power of media. If media is abused, it is possible to hurt many people. As long as media is used in a good way, it will make the lives of people convenient, instead of hurting some people.
