EOC: IS SHE FAIR GAME

We were asked a very crucial question IS SHE FAIR GAME?? This question is asked for photographers and reporters alike. We were asked to answer this question for the movie the Roman Holiday featuring Audrey Hepburn. Is she fair game? In the movie we saw a princess that was very proper and had to follow the rules. She was very unhappy that she could not have fun and enjoy life like everyone else. She always had meetings and things arranged for her to do. The princess decided to run away for a couple hour but found herself falling asleep due to medicine the doctor gave her to calm down. We see her run around Rome and do and try stuff she hasn't ever done before. Trying new things and seeing the world for the first time. She meets a reporter and a photographer along her journey. The only problem with that is that they hide it from her to catch her in acts that the princess would do just to make money. I believe that in a way she is fair game if she goes out in public and acts the way she acts, but i believe that their are boundaries as well. She is an innocent person and just trying to be like everyone one else even though some of the decisions she made may have be contradicting. But She is a public figure but they had to realize how public and iconic she is. She is a leader. The reporter and his photographer friend grew to know her and grew to understand her this made them change their minds and not go through with the news story. So maybe realizing that people are all human can make difference but even though they are like everyone else they are also in the lime light for who they are in the public view being a leader. Its should be expected and understood because our job is to make you bigger as photographer and reporters alike. Like the saying kinda goes “no news is bad news.”
