范文：
In recent years， many newspapers and magazines focus on the activities of film stars， pop singers and some other famous men and women. Reporters disguise their identities， infiltrate the subject's business and family， or even bug and wiretap them——to get the news by whatever means are necessary.
It is not difficult to explain the reason for their surprising amount of interest in famous people's lives. They are in the spotlight， renowned or notorious， they are the topic of ordinary people who like to know everything about them. To satisfy their curiosity， or “the people's right to know”， journalists often find it their duty to report their activities.
More over， what matters to a newspaper or a magazine is the number of readers. A large readership means the rise in the circulation of their publications， hence a huge profit. Since film stars and pop singers are newsworthy figures， and their stories draws far more attention than those of other people， it is natural that the press tries to attract them to buy their magazines by featuring private lives of famous people.
How ever， those exposed people can be severely injured by such press attention. Sensational stories about their private lives cause great unhappiness to them. To escape reporters， they can't even lead a normal life. Sometimes their lives will be in danger. For example， Princess Diana died in a car accident as she attempted to escape photographers in a chase through Paris.
Famous people are also citizens. They have the right to keep their own privacy like ordinary people——the basic right which should be respected， protected and guaranteed by our laws in whatever circumstances.
近年来，许多报纸和杂志都集中在电影明星、流行歌手和其他一些著名的男人和女人的活动上。记者身份伪装，渗透主题的商业和家庭，甚至错误窃听他们——让新闻以任何手段是必要的。
这并不难解释他们惊人的兴趣在名人的生活的原因。他们是在聚光灯下，著名的或臭名昭著的，他们是普通的人谁喜欢知道关于他们的一切的话题。为了满足他们的好奇心，或“人民的知情权”，记者经常发现他们的职责，报告他们的活动。
更重要的是，报纸或杂志是读者的数量。一个庞大的读者群意味着他们的出版物发行量的增加，因此一个巨大的利润。由于电影明星和流行歌手是新闻人物，和他们的故事吸引更多的关注远远高于其他人，这是很自然的，记者试图吸引他们购买特色的名人私人生活的杂志。
这些受媒体关注的人会受到严重的伤害。有关他们私生活的故事，对他们造成了巨大的不快。为了逃避记者的采访，他们甚至不能过正常的生活。有时他们的生活将处于危险之中。例如，戴安娜公主在一次车祸中死于车祸，她试图逃离巴黎的摄影记者。
名人也是公民。他们有权利保护自己的隐私，像普通人一样--在任何情况下都应该尊重、保护和保障我们的基本权利。
