This captivating book delves into the intricate relationship between journalism and celebrity,spanning from the dawn of capitalist democracy in the 18th century to the present day. It offers a comprehensive exploration, providing the first account of its kind, unveiling the individuals, locations, platforms, and production practices that shaped the culture of celebrity journalism. The journey begins in the bustling streets of London, where the press laid the foundation for this unique form of reporting. However, it was the American mass media that truly revolutionized the landscape, reimagining celebrity journalism for a global audience.

Through a transdisciplinary approach to theory and methodology, this book makes a compelling argument that the binary distinction between celebrity and journalism often overlooks their mutual reliance in shaping our societies. By examining historical and contemporary case studies from the UK and the US, this book appeals to a wide range of readers, including journalism, communication, media studies, history, and scholars in the fields of journalism, celebrity, cultural studies, and political communication.

In conclusion, Journalism and Celebrity is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the dynamic interplay between journalism and celebrity in contemporary society. It offers a rich and nuanced perspective, shedding light on the historical roots, evolving practices, and profound impact of this unique form of reporting on our political and social landscapes.
