Alisa miller says that news focuses on celebrities because?

News focuses on celebrities because it is profitable to do

so. The mandate of broadcasters to inform the public has been tossed aside.

Broadcasters no longer inform with news as they have to entertain. This is why

Americans aren't given access to the information they are entitled because it

seems that stories that hold more significant ties to the lives of Americans

are deemed more profitable

The answer to the question: Allisa Miller says that news focuses on celebrities because:___, would be: one, because the consumers of news are no longer interested in worlwide events, but rather on events that are happening close to them, and in a form affect them directly, and second, because it is cheaper to cover gossip, and it generates more profitability for media broadcasters, than speaking about events that have no impact on people's interests.

Explanation:

Alisa Miller gave a speech on the Classroom Project, TED, in 2010, titled "The News about the News". It is a very interesting video on how journalism has changed throughout time, and how today, it has turned into something completely different from what it once was intended to be. Today, we see the focus of the media on gossip, and rather superficial news, and she explains that the two reasons, at least in the case of America, are: that people do not want to bother themselves with things that do not directly affect them, or affect their lives, and second, because gossip of celebrities who do impact people's lives is cheaper to get and produces more profit.
