Reality TV has changed television and changed reality, even if we are not among
the millions who watch. Written for a broad audience, this accessible overview
addresses questions such as: How real is reality TV? How do its programs
represent gender, sex, class, and race? How does reality TV relate to politics,
to consumer society, to surveillance? What kind of ethics are on display?
Drawing on current media research and the author's own analysis, this study
encompasses the history and evolution of reality television, its production of
reflexive selves and ordinary celebrity, its advertising and commercialization,
and its spearheading of new relations between television and social media.
To dismiss this programming as trivial is easy. Deery demonstrates that reality
television merits serious attention and her incisive analysis will interest
students in media studies, cultural studies, politics, sociology, and anyone who
is simply curious about this global phenomenon.
