Press Play with Madeleine Brand
The Rise and Fall of the Paparazzi Not all car chases involve the police, of course. Here in L.A., it’s often paparazzi speeding after celebrities. A few years ago, California lawmakers even voted to punish photographers who drive recklessly with jail sentences and $2,500 fines. One paparazzo who was prosecuted for speeding after Justin Bieber is now fighting that law in court. Whatever the outcome, however, that’s only one setback celebrity photographers have faced in recent years. Public backlash and social media have eroded what was once an incredibly lucrative profession. But the paparazzi aren’t quite gone for good.

In 'Speechless,' Scott Silveri combines comedy, family & disability Scott Silveri has written and produced sitcoms for more than 20 years. In all that time, he never encountered a TV family that looked anything like the one he grew up in -- with a mom, a dad...and a brother with cerebral palsy. He changed that with his show Speechless on ABC. Silveri tells us about looking to his own past for stories, and why he was determined to make a family comedy and not just a "disability show."
