It appears that if the photograph is newsworthy, then it would be
publishable.
Therefore, if the person is doing something newsworthy, then
photographing them would be permissable.
I have never thought that the media should have the right to dog
someones heels just because that person happen to have a little
higher profile than most people.

I suspect the media may feel bitter because they have had their wings
clipped, but really, don't you think people should have the right to
freedom from harassment?
