Creating Reality in Factual Television analyzes the uneasy
interaction between economics, culture, and professional ethics in
reality and documentary television storytelling. Through the
"frankenbite," an editorial tool that extracts and re-orders the
salient elements or single words of a statement, interview, or
exchange into a revealing confession or argument, the book explores
how and why editors manipulate truth in factual television. The
author considers how the editing of documentary television is
increasingly following reality television's dictate to entertain
instead of inform, how the "real" and the "truth" fall victim to
the demand to "tell entertaining stories," and how editors must
compromise their professional ethics as a result. Drawing on
interviews with 75 North American and European editors that explore
their experiences and opinions of reality and documentary
television practices, and their views on their responsibilities and
loyalties in the field, Creating Reality in Factual Television
illuminates the real and potential ethical dilemmas of editorial
decision making, the context in which decisions are made, and how
editors themselves validate the editing choices to themselves and
others. Addressing a dramatic development in contemporary media
ecology - the age of "alternative facts" - this book is a useful
research tool for scholars and students of documentary film, media
literacy, genre studies, media ethics, affect theory, and audience
perception.
