A Look Into Tabloid Culture with Dean Piper

Publicist and former UK tabloid journalist Dean Piper joins Jameela to discuss the ins-and-outs of tabloid journalism, and the way it impacts the way we view women. They discuss how social media has impacted celebrity journalism and empowered celebrities, the lengths paparazzi go to to "get the shot," the way tabloid journalism creates "build them up and tear them down" narratives around women, and the ways we as the public should also be held accountable.
