This week in class we talk about privacy in the media. We learned 4 points on privacy in media. Approbation was a topic that stuck out to me during this class period. Approbation is the act of approving officially. I have seen this rule broken almost on a weekly with club flyers for local clubs in Tallahassee. They will promote there specially nights at there club and to intise the guys they will put a sexy picture of Rhianna or some other hot celebrity. Never really seeing the harm because its simply a picture of a celebrity.
The problem is that the designers of the flyer most likely didn't ask permission to put a certain celebrity on their flyer. By putting Rhianna on a flyer it sometimes give me the impression that she may appear at the club. This may lead people who come to this club that night angry and mislead with the club. This is clear false advertisement. As often as this happen though most of the time people don't assume that the celebrity will truly attend the event.
If these flyers fell in the right hands then these celebrities could take legal action on these clubs. This can be a serious action and the trouble is not worth it. People should stop and take approbation serious.
