Reviews
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
