Media attention

TOP del.icio.us

Katie the Duchess of Cambridge is up in arms with media houses that published naked photos of her whilst she was sun bathing on holiday in France with her husband William. Their lawyers are said to be pursuing the matter through French courts with the aim of preventing further use of the images and to seek damages. To them their right to privacy has been infringed since these pictures were taken using a long lens by someone in the street near where the royal couple was staying. Back at home, Locardia the PM’s ‘estranged’ wife is a big sucker for encouraging journalists into her private life. Today the Herald’s front page carries a picture of her and her lawyer discussing the way forward. Yes – her lawyer’s office – I wonder how a journalist had access to that meeting! She has always struck me as a media attention seeker. She surely knows how to get journalists inside her camp and get them well equipped with details.
