The tradeoff isn't because of the reporters low standards it's because of the millions of people that purchase tabloids. Three is a large audience in North America, Britain, etc that are infatuated with celebrities which has spun off the tabloid business. The reporters are just cashing in on our need to have to know what the rich and famous do in their everyday lives. It's the price that celebrities pay and its always been this way and it's never going to change as long as common people have interested in the liefstyles of the privileged.
You know there are a lot of popular celebrities that you never see snapped in scandals and that's because a lot of it is based on making sound decisions. Any person tanning nude outdoors even if it's on private property runs the risk of beeing seen unless you remove everyone in the range of photographs.
