However, there is a limit to the extent to which their personal lives should be exposed. One of the most excruciating paparazzi moments was the death of Princess Diana. She was constantly put under the flashes and clicks of the paparazzi and would find herself with chauffeurs having to go overspeed to escape the limelight. The aftermath of that matter changed the media forever.
There have been various incidents later on caused by the paparazzi like in when Lindsay Lohan was driving away from the camera and crashed her car, and in when Kanye West trashed the equipment of a nearby photographer at the airport. The uptick of social media in recent years has caused an increasing thirst for both fans and paparazzi to capture these candid moments. Along with the increase in online media, many fans have learned the importance of their personal lives staying private and how many factors should be kept private rather than shared publicly with photographs or videos.

And the paparazzi are not the only ones who face the risk that their jobs will no longer be viable.
One reason people seem to worry more about their economic future than they did in the past is that they sense more systematic risk in the job market. A few decades ago, most of the employment risk was idiosyncratic: conflict with the boss, a position that was a bad fit, a poorly managed company.
If you lost your job, you could probably find another one just like it. Workers formed trade unions, banded together, and demanded better pay and benefits, confident that there was a need for their skills.
The job market had its ups and downs, but risk seemed to be relatively easy to manage. If you lose your job during a recession, you may never find a similar one. It is a larger trend that threatens everyone, but for paparazzi like Baez, the threat is more immediate.
