His compatriots were a celebrity lawyer, Marty Singer, who represents the likes of Demi and Arnold, and a paparazzo, Russell Turiak, who was there to plead innocent to the death of Diana. And their collective function was to argue about Russell's rights of access, Steve's salubriousness in print and Marty's malignancy in the courts--essentially, questioning the worthiness of celebrity journalism in America...
...editors of publications that rely on paparazzi are taking a fresh look at how far their intrusive tactics should be allowed to go.

"Without the Globe basically pimping this woman," says Steve Coz, editor of the Enquirer, "Frank Gifford would not have been in that hotel room. This is the most heinous act that I've ever seen in journalism. When you set out to entrap Frank Gifford, you are basically setting out to destroy his marriage."
