Me again..
Just came across this article about the book: the celeb diaries .. It was written by the ex-editor of Heat Magazine, Mark Frith, and having read the book myself i think it provides a really useful insight into the minds of journalists, particularly those writing for celebrity magazines who thrive from the reality tv culture.
If i remember correctly, Big Brother was the original topic that sold Heat magazine, and Mark stepped down as Editor when he saw the downfall of Jade Goody at the hands of the media. He says of this:
"The democratisation of fame has led to some of us going too far. When you see celebrities as your playthings ... how much do you play with them?' -- this, coming from a journalist who does manipulate celebrities is a scary idea..there is no line drawn anymore.
There is another extract from the autobiography HERE
