The media outlets have finally committed to shifting their policies on unverified sources and invasive photography. It has been an exhausting road to get here but we successfully forced the change we demanded. Stay alert to ensure these new standards actually hold up in practice.

We, the undersigned, support THE PLAN. THE PLAN strives to bring truth to all forms of journalism by calling on media outlets in all categories to be accountable for statements made by unverified sources. We also call on said media outlets to cease their payments for photos provided by paparazzi and by “fans” when said photo is taken of someone who is obviously not aware of or does not desire to be the focus of the photo. By paying for these photos you have created a situation that is no longer safe for the celebrity, the paparazzi or the people who happen to be around at the time the photograph is being taken. It is our belief that such photos are an invasion of privacy and the person or persons that are the subject of such photos should be protected by the law. As a result, we will use all methods of communication available to effectively communicate how tabloid journalism lures in consumers with unverified, sensational and salacious headlines for money. Additionally, we will work toward changing the laws as they now stand to protect the people affected by material reported by media outlets. We wish to see the following changes in your policies 1. Your site must cease the practice of paying for photographs—whether they are taken by self-proclaimed journalists, paparazzi, or fans. 2. Your site must cease to publish stories that have unsubstantiated claims and or unnamed sources. 3. Your site must cease the practice of printing stories that encourage anger and hate Until such time as we see significant changes in your practices, we will cease to visit your site and will boycott products of all advertisers that sponsor your site. The results of this petition will be sent to / but will not necessarily be limited to the following gossip sites tabloid magazines, and gossip media outlets: Access Hollywood American Media Beauty World News Bollynewz Celebitchy Celebrity Dirty Laundry Celebrity Gossip Celebrity Teen Scoop Celebrity-Babies.com Celebslam Cosmopolitan (blog) Crazy Joys Daily News & Analysis Digital Spy Dlisted E!

The feedback I receive lately shows that the industry has no intention of changing on its own. It is exhausting to fight against such massive profit motives but I know the current cycle of exploitation cannot continue indefinitely.

Stop paying for this trash. If nobody bought the magazines then they would stop chasing people. Simple economics.
Agree 100%. The paparazzi are a hazard to everyone on the road. Someone is going to get killed because of a stupid photo.
Enough with the stalking. People deserve to walk down the street without a camera shoved in their face. It is creepy and dangerous.
LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!!
it is so sad to see how low the media has gone. they print anything for a click and dont care who gets hurt.

I am so tired of seeing these lies on the covers at the grocery store. none of it is ever verified and it just ruins lives for profit.
