Since Buzzfeed published shots of the star that her publicist didn’t like, her PR squad stopped issuing press passes to photojournalists to tour dates, and instead has required news organizations to register with them for access to pictures taken by the tour’s official photographer. They’ve also contacted media outlets like Buzzfeed to request that certain photos be removed.

The strategy hasn’t worked too well for Beyoncé; news outlets, frustrated about the limitations on their photographers, have used the original offending photos, from Beyoncé’s Super Bowl halftime show, in lieu of the provided photos.

  1. Great to see that ‘the Streisand effect’ is alive and well, as it should be.

  2. The days of unrestricted access to performers both on and off stage have long passed…this isn’t news.

  3. She is OVEREXPOSED. When I was in NYC and LA in January her face was plastered on every flat surface and on a series of flags in west Hollywood and downtown. It was like Pyongyang. I think her publicity team is drinking the Jay Z/Beyonce King and Queen Kool-Aid and have overreached, overestimating her ppopularity.

  4. Thanks for finally writing about >Beyoncé photos spark press-PR feud <Liked it!

  5. During this ritual, the priest pours water on the hands of the bride and groom while chanting the mantra three
    times. This is so because of the fewer number of guests, the overall
    quantity of the food is on the small side, which means greater scope for a variety of
    delicacies. Take care of her, Good health, Have many babies to come, Have a good fortune in business and so on and so forth.

  6. There are many ways to create a website online – but a lot of
    people don’t have designers and programmers at their disposal; neither can they afford such costs in the start-up of their online business. To overcome these problems, images are required to have text such as the ALT tag or captions that you provide. A dynamic site is one that is written using a server-side scripting language such as PHP or ASP.
