This lecture will explore the 'celebrification' of contemporary popular culture. In particular how the idea of celebrity is intrinsic to the making and marketing of popular newspapers. We will also examine how the so-called quality press has not remained immune from the lure of the celebrity. And more importantly how broadcasting appears to be reconfiguring our ideas about celebrity. We will analyse in detail particular examples drawn from print and broadcasting, seeking to explore the processes at work here.Uploaded 26-08-11The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-making-of-modern-celebrity-famous-for-fifteen-minutes-and-longer-0Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
