Addressing the wide range of programmes and formats from news,
to documentary, to popular factual genres, Annette Hill 's new book
examines the ways viewers navigate their way through a busy, noisy
and constantly changing factual television environment.
Restyling Factual TV addresses the wide range of programmes that
fall within the category of 'factuality', from politics, to natural
history, to reality entertainment.
Based on research with audiences of factual TV, primarily in
Sweden and the UK, but with reference to other countries such as
the US, this book tackles issues such as legitimacy, ethics and
value in contemporary news and current affairs, documentary and
reality programming.
Drawing on the ethics of truth-telling and notions of quality,
this wide-ranging, authoritative book expands the debate on popular
factual entertainment and will be a welcome addition to the current
literature.
