Privacy law a bigger threat to tabloids than the internet?
The tabloids love Peeping Tom style pictures of even the most minor celebrities so the Daily Mail and News of the World are understandably gutted at being forced to apologise for publishing shots of England manager Fabio Capello and his wife mud bathing on holiday.
The shocking news is that even famous people are entitled to a little privacy, even on a public beech.
The Daily Mail hasn’t laid off Capello completely. Topless Photos have aroused Paul Dacre’s organ in the past and are still available on its website.
Nevertheless, the tabloids’ obsession with celebrity will be much harder to maintain if more high profile people follow the Capellos lead and lobby the Press Complaints Commission before departing for their hols.
