Kim McNamara is an independent media researcher based in Sydney
"Kim McNamara has written an excellent and most useful book.
Drawing on a rich vein of information from her industry
research as well as from the academic literature, McNamara�s
Paparazzi is indispensable for anyone wanting to properly
understand the contemporary production and circulation of
celebrity."
Graeme Turner, University of Queensland
"In this fascinating and important study Kim McNamara takes issue
with the familiar image of the paparazzi as the invasive hooligans
of contemporary journalism. Drawing on first hand research in LA,
London and Sydney, she explores the working lives of the paparazzi,
the structure of the industry, and the way in which social media
are transforming celebrity photography. A fresh, insightful and
readable book that has much to teach us about news
organisations today - highly recommended."
Rosalind Gill, City University London
