| Summary: | "[This book] is a detailed analysis of California's anti-paparazzi laws aimed at protecting celebrities' privacy. Joshua N. Azriel provides an ethnographic, First Amendment-based critique of the state's privacy and anti-harassment laws and discusses the broader implications of these laws on free press rights. Azriel provides readers with insight into firsthand perspectives of photographers in the field and the challenges and the ethics of the paparazzi industry by conducting personal interviews with paparazzi along with fieldwork on the ground, acting as a paparazzo and taking photos of celebrities himself."--Back cover. "For purposes of this book ... [a] celebrity is defined as someone who desires to be in the public arena achieving fame in their field. This does not mean someone who is infamous is not a celebrity. But most of the people the paparazzi want to take photos of desire to achieve positive recognition in their field."--Page 14. |
