Tonight, were going to analyse the problem of the paparazzi. We have Dr Lindbrow in the studio.Dr L: Good evening.Presenter: Dr Lindbrow, youve done some studies on the paparazzi. Could you tell us how the problem arose?Dr L: Well, a lot of people blame the media for encouragement of the paparazzi. Newspapers and magazines are willing to pay high prices for photographs of famous people taken by self-employed these photographers. Nowadays, selling photographs of famous people has become big business.Presenter: Is it legal to take photographs of famous people without letting them know?Dr L: According to the law in Britain, it is legal to take photographs of famous people if they are in public. But sometimes, the paparazzi go too far in their attempt to get the best photographs. They may climb onto roofs or tall trees. They may even rent a boat or a helicopter in order to get pictures of famous people.Presenter: But I know there are people who defend the paparazzi.

It is likely to be just the name of a company, part of which may be a general location. For example, it could be “Shanghai Sewing Machine”, or “Tsing Tao Beer Corporation”, and you would know what the companies sell, where they are located, and the brand names.However, this kind of advertising might not be suitable when there areproducts and services in direct competition with each other in the market place. In such situations, advertisements need to attract, and hold the attention of the public. Some advertisements consist of pictures or the words of experts to show people how good the products are. Others try to create advertisements that people simply enjoy looking at. As present-day advertisers often have large budgets, a lot of money is spent o
