The media should cover the private lives of public people but should be respectful.

Public people have relatively more social resources. At the same time that they have gained more social benefits, they should bear more social responsibilities. Different from ordinary people, the public's attention has brought popularity and economic value to celebrities. Therefore, the stars allow the media to expose part of their privacy and transfer part of their privacy rights, and their rights and obligations generally balance. The success of the celebrity career maybe not only the recognition of the audience and the Media for its strength after long-term efforts but also the attention of the audience through other factors. Public people have a significant social influence; as a result, their private life will affect the public to a certain extent. Therefore, the restriction on the privacy of public people is like a kind of disguised social supervision. This supervision comes from public opinion, Specific implementation by various media

We need to put the public interest above the privacy of the public. If the privacy of celebrities conflicts with the public interest, we should safeguard the public interest. In the reporting of public events, sometimes the privacy of celebrities, including words and deeds, is involved. These contents are an essential part of the public's supervision of celebrities. At this time, the media should appropriately disclose celebrity privacy to meet the public's right to supervise public opinion, thereby safeguarding the public interest. The popularity of celebrities comes from the public's attention.

The public paid time cost while paying attention to celebrities and exercising their right to know. It provided an audience base for celebrities to advertise, and also increased the circulation of newspapers, television, and new media advertising revenue. For example, the outdoor parent-child reality show in Korea called "Where is Dad Going" released a panoramic view of the lives of six famous pubic figures and their adorable boys and girls. In a short time, their appearance characteristics, personality preferences to living habits, and the relationship between the cute baby were released to the public, not only the audience can learn a lot of private information about the father and the cute baby from the program, but also the program has won the audience's love and praise, and it has brought huge advertising costs. This is a win-win situation for the media and public figures.

Another critical thing to remember, The Media is a public utility, and it is necessary to enhance the audience's taste. The media have the responsibility to maintain the regular order of society, maintain social morality and mainstream values, and promote the healthy development of society. It should be noted that the media has both social monitoring and coordination functions and the negative effects of anesthetizing the audience.

When exposing the privacy of public figures, the media must do something but do nothing. The med should correctly handle the relationship between personal interests and privacy reports, raise legal awareness, cultivate professional ethics, and effectively regulate their work. Media can not use the privacy of celebrities as a gimmick to secretly record the private life of celebrities, which violates the celebrity's right to privacy, will encourage the audience's privacy, and stimulate some celebrities to increase their popularity by exposing privacy.

On the whole, Media should abide by laws and regulations, grasp the standards of privacy reporting, and not report purely private content that has nothing to do with their acting career. When the celebrity's right to privacy conflicts with the audience's right to know, the coordination and balance between the two should be promoted, and appropriate angles and scopes should be selected to disclose privacy to satisfy the audience's right to know.
