What
right does the SUN newspaper has to publish the images?
Can
one actually have the right to his/her private life?
These
are the questions that clouded my mind based on the on-going scandalous pictures
of the Prince Harry that are flying all over the internet and various media.
This is a question of fame and privacy.
Maybe
attaining the so called fame or stardom makes one to loose the right to his/her
private life. This just another thing of consideration when it comes to the
right one has to his/her private life and the right media has to publish any
news regarding you, your family, business, activities, social life and other
private life of yours.
According
to ‘The Sun Newspaper’, British No1 tabloid, the newspaper claims it has the
right to publish the nude picture of the Prince since it is readily available
on various internet and media, especially on TMZ (the America media
company that first published this private picture of the Prince guiding his
private part jealously).
What
moral justification or business ethics justification could be behind the
publication of a picture who the person in question doesn’t want the world to
see?
A
cited comment by Sun on its website was in appreciation of the Prince: ‘He’s
27, single and a solider. We like him’. I guess the nude picture is a means of
showing the world how much you like your Prince.
The
royal family lawyer had appealed to various media in UK not to publish this particular
picture but the Sun insisted that based on the fact that it’s available on internet
and other media networks, they have the right to publish this too. SUN further
justified its publication based on PCC code.
The
Unanswered Questions:
Is
there a real justification for the reason claimed by the Managing Editor of
Sun, David Dinsmore, for publishing the notorious images?
Do
you think the Sun can publish a private picture of its owner or any of its
management members while with his wife or concubine?
Does
Harry has no right to behave outside royalty and act like any ordinary being if
he wants to?
To
what extent is the liberty of a press as against that of individual?
What happens in Vegas
doesn’t stay in Vegas.
D'Prince
