a2 - george michael, celebrity culture, and constructed 'news'

here's a bbc interview and news story about an accident involving george michael.

watch the video and read the story

what does this suggest about our obsession with celebrity culture?

in what ways has the coverage of the story been constructed, and who is in control of the construction of the story?

look at how katherine fox is represented in the video and the still images - how do you react to this representation?

think about issues of FEMINISM here, as well as DISCOURSE  and MODE OF ADDRESS. 

consider the idea of the news as  a CONSTRUCTED METANARRATIVE
