9. Global Media Law or Ethics

 Kylie Jenner

    The media has a crucial role in informing the public and holding individuals in positions of power accountable. However, with the rise of social media and reality TV, the line between journalism and entertainment has become increasingly blurred. In the case of Kylie Jenner (WIKI), the global media has crossed ethical lines time and time again, prioritizing clicks and views over responsible reporting.

    One way the media has crossed ethical lines with Kylie Jenner is through invasive and non-consensual reporting. The paparazzi have been known to follow her every move, even when she is in private spaces like her home or a hotel room. In 2015 (ENEWS), a photo of Kylie in her home was published without her consent, sparking outrage and prompting her to take legal action. The media also frequently publishes unflattering photos of Kylie, invading her privacy and damaging her reputation.

    The media has also crossed ethical lines in its coverage of Kylie's personal life (ELLE). Kylie has been romantically linked to several high-profile individuals, and the media often speculates about her relationships, often without any evidence. This type of reporting puts immense pressure on Kylie and can be emotionally damaging. Additionally, the media has been known to harass Kylie's family members, including her sisters. In one instance, a paparazzo trespassed on Kim Kardashian's property, prompting her to speak out about the dangers of paparazzi culture.

    Another way the media has crossed ethical lines with Kylie is through its coverage of her mental health. Kylie has spoken openly about her struggles with anxiety and depression (HEALTHLINE), but the media has often used this as an opportunity to exploit her struggles for clicks and views. This type of reporting is not only insensitive but also perpetuates the harmful notion that mental health struggles are a sign of weakness.

    The media has also crossed ethical lines in its coverage of Kylie's business ventures. Kylie's cosmetics company, Kylie Cosmetics, has been incredibly successful, but the media has often sought to discredit her accomplishments. In 2019, Forbes published an article titled "Inside Kylie Jenner's Web of Lies - and Why She's No Longer a Billionaire," (FORBES), which accused Kylie of inflating her net worth and deceiving investors. The article was widely criticized for its sensationalism and lack of evidence.

    Finally, the media has crossed ethical lines in its treatment of Kylie as a role model for young women. Kylie has a massive following on social media, and her posts often feature highly stylized and sexualized images. While Kylie has agency over her own body and is free to express herself as she pleases, the media has often criticized her for being a poor role model (BUSINESS INSIDER). This type of reporting is not only judgmental but also reinforces harmful double standards that hold women to unrealistic standards of purity and modesty.

    The global media has crossed ethical lines time and time again in its coverage of Kylie Jenner (DIGMEDIA). From invasive reporting to insensitive coverage of mental health struggles, the media has prioritized clicks and views over responsible journalism. As a society, we must hold the media accountable for its actions and demand better from our news outlets. We must prioritize responsible reporting that respects individuals' privacy and mental health, rather than exploiting their struggles for profit.
