Criticism of reality television (original) (raw)
The reality television genre, and specific reality television shows, have been subject to significant criticism since the genre first rose to worldwide popularity in the 1990s. Much of the criticism has centered on the use of the word "reality", and such shows' attempt to present themselves as a straightforward recounting of events that have occurred. Critics have argued that reality television shows reflect reality in ways that are deceptive or even fraudulent through misleading editing, coaching participants on what to say and how to behave, generating storylines ahead of time, and staging or re-staging scenes for the cameras.

| dbo:abstract | The reality television genre, and specific reality television shows, have been subject to significant criticism since the genre first rose to worldwide popularity in the 1990s. Much of the criticism has centered on the use of the word "reality", and such shows' attempt to present themselves as a straightforward recounting of events that have occurred. Critics have argued that reality television shows reflect reality in ways that are deceptive or even fraudulent through misleading editing, coaching participants on what to say and how to behave, generating storylines ahead of time, and staging or re-staging scenes for the cameras. Other criticisms of reality television shows include that they are intended to humiliate or exploit participants (particularly on competition shows), that they make celebrities out of untalented people who do not deserve fame, and that they glamorize vulgarity and materialism. Actor and filmmaker Gary Oldman described reality television as "the museum of social decay", while journalist Ted Koppel questioned whether it marked "the end of civilization".

Mucha de la crítica se ha centrado en el uso de la palabra "reality o realidad", y el intento de este tipo de programas en presentarse como un recuento directo de eventos pasados. Algunos críticos han argumentado que los reality shows reflejan la realidad de una manera falsa e incluso fraudulenta, a través de edición engañosa, entrenando a los participantes en qué decir y cómo comportarse, generando narrativas con anticipación, y montando o recreando escenas para las cámaras. Otras críticas a los reality shows incluyen que estos tienen la intención de humillar o explotar a los participantes (en particular los programas de competencias), que hacen celebridades a gente sin talento que no merecen la fama, y que idealizan la vulgaridad y el materialismo. El actor y director Gary Oldman lo describió como "el museo de la decadencia social", cuando el periodista lo cuestionó acerca de si los reality shows marcan "el fin de la civilización". (es) |
