description The news is not a raw account of an event, but a narrativisation which foregrounds media personalities.

This treatment becomes more delicate in a postmodern society where the distinction between the public and private spheres is blurred. Without being excessively moralising, it is imperative to measure the de-ontological and ethical consequences of this personalization of news in both the printed press and in the way that the media is consumed.
