Week 11 – How does Hill define reality TV?


According to Hill (2004) it is really difficult to give a precise definition of the reality TV genre because it derives and borrows from a lot of other different genres and the boundaries between those are ambiguous. Reality TV is also constantly changing because it adds new and old elements from other genres all the time which makes it difficult for those who work or study reality TV to actually categorise it. The fact that reality TV offers a wide range of programs in which the boundaries between real-life facts and fiction are blurred makes them more popular with the audience.
