• REALITY PROGRAMMING .
• Reality programming is an expansive television industry label which includes both syndicated and "on-net" (network) programs such as "tabloid" television newsmagazine shows (Entertainment Tonight, Hard Copy, A Current Affair, Inside Edition, Day One, Dateline NBC), video-verite (Cops) re-created crime or rescue programs (Top Cops, Rescue 911, America's Most Wanted, Unsolved Mysteries, Real Stories of the Highway Patrol ), and family amateur video shows (America's Funniest Home Videos, America's Funniest People). ...
• As a programme form which purports to exhibit the actual or "the real," reality programming is evocative of non-fictional genres, particularly mainstream television news. Many of the formal conventions of television journalism--such as the style of electronic news gathering, the use of anchors and stand-up shots of reporters on location--are variously found within reality programs. Most importantly, it is reality programming's involvement in the immediacy of the scene or the event which tends to evince the naturalism of television news. ...
• Nonetheless, "the real" in reality programming is a highly flexible concept. Rather than solely relying upon the use of actual documentary or "live" footage for its credibility, reality programming often draws upon a mix of acting, news footage, interviews and re-creations in a highly simulated pretense towards the "real. " Admittedly, mainstream television news is also involved in the recreation of reality, rather than simply recording actual events. And yet, "reality" is dramatized on reality programming to an extent quite unlike conventional television news, and this dramatization is often geared towards more promotional, rather than informational, ends. ... In essence, the effectivity of reality programs lies in their ability to dramatize "the real" by drawing upon popular memory and forms, specifically the popular forms of commodity culture. ...
• In addition to a reliance upon an actual or fabricated "real," much reality programming (particularly of the "law and order" or tabloid genre), is concerned with defining moral boundaries within society. ... It is this heightened emphasis upon moral or criminal disorder which accounts for much of reality programming's disrepute as sensational, excessive, and indulgent of vulgar tastes.
• Coupled with the tendency towards moral polarity in reality programming is an emphasis upon the subjective or personal. Reality programming expresses social or moral dilemmas in emotional terms; and it is the emotional affectivity of a programme which acts as the key support for its "truthfulness" or credibility. ... In this respect, it is no longer a supposedly neutral objectivity which acts to establish the authenticity of "reality," but rather an appeal towards subjective identification, wherein a distanced or impartial reasoned analysis is replaced with the "closeness" of feeling and sensation. One feature which is emphasized within all types of reality programming--tabloid newsmagazines, crime and rescue shows, and family amateur video programs--is the proximity of the depicted "reality" to the experiences of the audience. ...
