		Justin Lewis's essay titled "The Meaning of Real Life" is especially thought-provoking as he investigates the source of audiences' pleasure from reality TV programming by addressing the broader question of how audiences understand the blend of realism and artifice.
		Pointing out the ambiguity in the notion of realism, he reaches an insightful conclusion that our desire to recognize reality components embedded in the popular reality TV programming is symptomatic of the controversial ambiguity that contemporary television cultivates.

		Kerpen is one of a number of reality show veterans who, now released from the expired nondisclosure clauses in their contracts, say that alcohol was one of the producers’ favorite tools.

	H-Net Review: Sara Knox on Entertaining Crime: Television Reality Programs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The ideological context for the rather sudden ubiquity of reality crime is the generalized trend toward law and order discourse attendant to the backlash against the liberalism of the 1960s and early 1970s.
		The generic heritage of reality crime programming is essential for understanding the strategic nature of the truth claim of reality TV.
		And as regards, particularly, the quantification of data related to the representation of the race of offenders and victims in reality crime programming, the level of repetition between and even within the chapters is disappointing.

		Washington, D.C. - The Parents Television Council recently released results of the second in a series of comprehensive reports examining the State of the Television Industry—a study focusing on the amount of foul language on television from 1998 through 2002.
