Gossip, the talk about people’s most personal affairs, has become just as large a part of the news as actual news. With the internet making media available to users 24-hours a day, 365-days a year, the public now thrives on it.

Gossip often tops more concrete news stories simply because of its entertainment value. Gossip can be easily spotted in the media by looking for phrases that start with: it is rumored, some have said, and it is believed.

• Celebrity Gossip
• Watercooler Work Gossip
• Gossip about Friends
• Political Gossip

These stories are ones that do not have concrete proof like their news counterparts. These stories do allow the general public to laugh, forget about their own problems, and fill their minds with less serious topics.

The news is bad enough most days, gossip in the media allows for a certain entertainment value that the public craves. It is an outlet for overly stressed minds to get lost in for a while.

Normally revolving around the hottest celebrities, gossip makes these larger than life icons seem more human. It gives the public a sense of equality and keeps them coming back for more. The media industry feeds the population what they are craving to continue to engage more readers and viewers.

Gossip - fact or fiction?

Often times a typical reader can relate to a gossip column on a personal level much easier than with national news. It also provides the public with hot topics to discuss at work and amongst family friends.

It is a source of conversation starters in an otherwise quiet room. People do not want to be bored, they want to be entertained, and this is exactly what gossip does for them.
