It was not the death of Princess Diana that world craved to know about, but the circumstances that surrounded the way in which she died. I remember the day Princess Diana died as if it were yesterday. I came home from a party a little worried about getting in trouble because I came in late. Instead of coming in to my Mom yelling at me about being late, I come into my mom crying and watching the news on television. She tells me that Princess Diana had died and they believe that it was the fault of the paparazzi following her limo with Princess Diana and her new boyfriend. With in the next few days the paparazzi became the main blame for the death of one of the most amazing people of the time.

After this there was no way to rid of the story of Princess Diana's death. Every which way a person turned; the story was all over the newspapers, television and radio. It was an obsession to so much of the public but the media then took it to a new level. Richard Lambert says,

But the paparazzi were not the only thing surrounding the death of Princess Diana that was too much. It was the amount of coverage that the media gave the death. After her death for at least a month probably more nothing that happened was as important. Mother Teresa, winner of the noble peace prize, dies and the story is barely given half as much coverage as Princess Diana's death. The only reason Mother Teresa's death is given any cover has to deal with the fact that shortly before each of Princess Diana and Mother Teresa's deaths they had begun or were in the midst of working on a project together. Why is it that someone who gave so much to the entire world like Mother Teresa is not seem to be as important to cover her death because a week earlier Princess Diana's death was more glamorous to the world.

Journalism did change for a period of time where it was not pushed to extremes due to such a tragic event. The media could try to act like there would never be such a fuss over a story and it would not go to such extremes
