PMA 3469
Reality TV: The History, The Economics, The Pleasure Without Guilt

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

While there has been much said in the news about reality television’s adverse effects on society, our class asks, “which kind”? Reality television has been around in some form or fashion for the last 50 years. Considering reality television as a mode of production, we will survey the different genres of reality television and assess its influence on society from a variety of standpoints: industry, economics, and culture.
