Obituaries for young celebrities? by Sandra Stoklaskova

When people, especially celebrities, die after long, considerable and challenging career, the stories of their lives appear everywhere around us, mostly on the web sites and in the press. This is what happened also now. No one died, but the fact that The Associated Press has prepared an obituary for 26-year-old Britney Spears, developed the wave of discussions about reporting death. “It is a complex issue, a complex debate”, says Washington Post reporter Adam Bernstein. The question is: Should news organizations prepare the obituaries for celebrities under 30, living dangerous lives? The answer to this question can be very controversial..But if yes, should this be about their weird behavior on public? Or on the other hand should it reflects their real accomplishment? This can be really a very mooting issue.

We have to noticed, that there is a growing interest of public in anything what young people does, and if it is some scandal, even more.”There is much more pressure to get this news out right now”, said former publicist Michael Levine. “You distribute or you die”, he added.
