【答案解析】A great deal of attention has been focused on the personal lives of celebrities on television in newspapers and magazines, and on the Internet. It seems that the public can never have enough of this kind of news. However, I believe that the media have a responsibility to present a balanced view of the world, as well as respect the lives of those famous people. Therefore, I believe that the media should not pay too much attention to the personal lives of those people.
For people who are fascinated with the lives of public figures there are some forms of media devoted exclusively to this topic. They can satisfy their curiosity by buying fan magazines and watching TV shows devoted to entertainment news. The general media should present all types of information because people have different interests. Furthermore, the practice of dwelling on the private lives of celebrities can direct people"s attention to these matters than they otherwise would. Perhaps most importantly, the media should respect the privacy of every individual, including those celebrities. They may have chosen to be in the public eye, but that does not give the public the right to know everything about them. Moreover, many stories about celebrities are not true; they are only gossip reported to increase sales of magazines and other media. It is unfair to intrude into their life and sometimes may mislead the public.
For all of these reasons, I believe that the media should pay more attention to issues such as charity, education, social welfare other than the private lives of public figures. In this way, they can appeal to a wider audience and encourage people to concern about the society. To sum up it is beneficial for the media not to pay too much attention to the private lives of public figures.
