Representation of Refugees: Angelina Jolie

Angleina Jolie has been in the news, especially on the Telegraph website, for visitng Syrian refugee camps on World Refugee Day. Is this glamorising the subject? Here is a video taken from CNN, to show how refugees are being represented in the news (and American news as a contrast), but also to show how the media often glamorise awful situations with celebrities. Although it is positive because it is charity, it could also be viewed as glamorisation.
