Call for Lesson Plans: Teaching with Reality Television

 From The Real World to The Bachelor, the reality TV genre provides 
unique insight into how television is changing, while also drawing on 
familiar generic conventions and modes of address. Scholars continue to 
trace its effects on marketing and advertisers, above and below-the-line 
labor practices, multi-platform storytelling, fan labor, and questions 
of governmentality and surveillance, among many others. Teaching with 
reality television allows instructors to discuss the rise of convergence 
culture and the role of new media, making for a case study likely to 
resonate with students through their engagement with television and 
related social media. Teaching Media Quarterly is interested in learning 
and sharing how instructors teach with reality television and why.
