These are the thoughts and musings of a group of critical media studies students from DePaul University. Some of us are new to the field but we are all scholars who critically consider the world around us, and are ready to contribute to the body of knowledge on how media interacts with and helps shape our cultural world.

Origins of Fame
As we try to find the roots of why the Kardashians are famous it leads us to find that they have many facets to it. I feel the family got there notoriety from their father who was a lawyer know for the OJ Simpson trial. But many other believe it was her sex tape. Without her father’s career and her stepfather’s notoriety no one would have cared about the sex tape. From all of this she got her show, which lead to the representation of her actual talent and possible model and fashion career. Although what was the key event that defined her celebrity? This got me thinking as to at what point in someone’s media career do they transfer from nobody to somebody? When is it that you can truly identify the point that a person becomes famous?
