  3. Detailed Analysis of Reality TV Industry What is Reality TV? Reality TV is staged television programs about real people and situations, designed to be entertaining rather than informative. (Dictionary) Reality TV is a genre of television that claims to present unscripted dramatic or humorous situations for its viewers entertainment, with ordinary everyday people, instead of actors. Although this genre has somewhat existed since the beginning of television, primarily game shows, the term reality television is most commonly known for the TV programs introduced throughout the 20th century.

  5. What Makes Reality TV? Documentaries and nonfictional programming such as the news and sports are not usually classified as reality TV. Participants are often placed in exotic locations or abnormal situations and are sometimes coached, to act in certain scripted ways by off-screen "story editors" or "segment producers," with the portrayal of events and speech manipulated and contrived to create an illusion of reality through editing and other post-production techniques. (Source: Television and Politics of Humiliation-1st column) Shows that constitute humiliation TV have been classified by programmers and critics alike as reality-based television. But there is nothing real about them, if by real we mean programs designed to show ordinary people in the process of every-day life.
