Determine the author's tone:

Celebrity photographers, also known as paparazzi, have gone too far in their quest to snap pictures of the stars. Everyone—even celebrities—should have the right to privacy, yet photographers routinely hound famous people everywhere they go. The creepiest of these photographers are not above following their prey into bathrooms or climbing trees to get shots of celebrities in their own homes. This constant invasion forces the rich and famous to become rude and mean, setting a bad example for their often youthful fans. Even worse, though, the paparazzi's behavior is frequently downright dangerous and irresponsible. One newspaper recently reported that pop singer Britney Spears was forced to drive 90 miles an hour in an attempt to outrun relentless photographers. And who can forget that in 1997, England's Princess Diana was killed in a car accident while her driver tried to evade the paparazzi in a high-speed chase. People may crave pictures of the stars, but most readers certainly would not want them at the expense of a celebrity's safety. Newspapers and magazines should cease paying for these kinds of photos while photographers who put celebrities in harm's way should be arrested for stalking.(Source of information: Michael Paul, Lenoir, NC, "Paparazzi Go Much Too Far," USA Today, September 9, 2004, p. 12A)
