The Internet is creating a new movement that involves the community as a whole. This concept is a trend that allows the public to participate in the dissemination of news, photos and information.
Digital cameras and the accessibility to the online world are leading to an increasing popularity of 'Citizen Paparazzi.' More photos taken by non-professional photographers are being published on gossip celebrity web sites, such as Perez Hilton, which obtains many of the content from its own audience.
If you are one of those people that always carry a camera around, snapping photos of celebrities can earn you some extra bucks. This revolutionary idea is generating tension among competing professional paparazzi. But it also creates new opportunities for the average person to be part of the "celebrity" industry, for better or for worse.
