Details of politicians’ private lives should not be published in 
newspapers. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is argued that newspapers ought not to publish the details of private 
lives of politicians. This essay strongly disagrees with this view because 
politicians build a public image through such news and they could be held 
accountable for any wrongdoings. 
On the one hand, politicians can gain public trust by building a positive 
image through newspapers. Being the focus of media, sometimes details 
of their personal interests end up on the front pages of newspapers, which 
allows them to gain popularity among masses, especially when their 
interests match with the general public. Recently, the pictures of a famous 
politician of Milan, while playing football with local school children were 
published in many newspapers, and he instantly became famous among 
school and college students. Hence, it helps them gain popularity by 
depicting themselves in a positive way.

On the other hand, publishing details of private affairs disclose the 
corruption of politicians and make them accountable. Many politicians 
usually hold a public office and are entrusted with managing public funds. 
If they do not spend the money on the wellbeing of people and are 
involved in corruption, newspapers expose their private life and put them 
under accountability. For example, when details of the lavish spending of 
the Mayor of London, while on a vacation, were revealed in the SUN, it 
prompted questions from many sections of the society, eventually 
exposing his corruption with the public money. Therefore, it is important 
that newspapers publish these details. 
In conclusion, private matters of politicians should be published in 
newspaper because it allows them to gain popularity and expose their 
corrupt affairs.
