Entertainment journalism is also journalism. Even today, the struggle to recognize the branch of art continues—our proclamation for the world’s most privileged trade.

Let us warn the readers. Nothing you will read here is an irrefutable truth, and it certainly doesn’t claim to be. It is a defense full of this journalist’s interests that can only speak with a bias.
