This book explores the cultural implications of this popular news genre in a simple and easy-to-understand way, following the clues of how gossip was generated, how it entered the news industry and became entertainment news, the evolution of entertainment news types, and the controversy surrounding entertainment news. The greatest value of taking "gossip" as a research object lies in the inspiration of the research path: it suggests the significance of "ordinary people research", that is, focusing on the ordinary, universal, ordinary, and daily, abstracting and academicizing the phenomena that can be seen everywhere and everyone, and helping readers gain a "long-distance" examination of their daily lives.
