STARSUCKERS is a valuable website for potential media analysis due to its exploration of celebrity culture, its linking of celebrity culture to 'news' and the examination of celebrity culture's influence upon our own wider sense of culture . The documentary is a resource that should be of use to both teacher and student. It is driven by a strong subjective narrative [similar to the narratives constructed by Michael Moore] but is still an interesting piece of work. If max clifford finds the film/site irritating it must be worth a visit. Click on link below to access the STARSUCKERS website:

Below is a link to a BBC Newsnight discussion relating to the release of Chris Atkins' STARSUCKERS documentary. The panel are quite scathing about the merits of the film and the credibility of Atkins' argument. Watch the film, visit the newsnight interview and decide for yourself.
