  • Constructing, Programming, and Branding Celebrity on Reality Television
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Producing Reality Stardom: Constructing, Programming, and Branding Celebrity on Reality Television A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Television by Lindsay Nicole Giggey 2017 © Copyright by Lindsay Nicole Giggey 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Producing Reality Stardom: Constructing, Programming, and Branding Celebrity on Reality Television by Lindsay Nicole Giggey Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Television University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor John T. Caldwell, Chair The popular preoccupation with celebrity in American culture in the past decade has been bolstered by a corresponding increase in the amount of reality programming across cable and broadcast networks that centers either on established celebrities or on celebrities in the making. This dissertation examines the questions: How is celebrity constructed, scheduled, and branded by networks, production companies, and individual participants, and how do the constructions and mechanisms of celebrity in reality programming change over time and because of time? I focus on the vocational and cultural work entailed in celebrity, the temporality of its production, and the notion of branding celebrity in reality television. Dissertation chapters will each focus on the kinds of work that characterize reality television production cultures at the network, production company, and individual level, with specific attention paid to programming focused ii on celebrity making and/or remaking. Celebrity is a cultural construct that tends to hide the complex labor processes that make it possible. This dissertation unpacks how celebrity status is the product of a great deal of seldom recognized work and calls attention to the hidden infrastructures that support the production, maintenance, and promotion of celebrity on reality television.

    International Journal of Communication 15(2021), 1000–1020 1932–8036/20210005 Keeping the Gates on Twitter: Interactivity and Sourcing Habits of Lebanese Traditional Media CLAUDIA KOZMAN1 Lebanese American University, Lebanon RALUCA COZMA Kansas State University, USA Using gatekeeping and sourcing frameworks, this study content analyzes Lebanese media tweets to examine the relationship between the use of sources and tweet popularity in a media environment marked by political parallelism and high diversity. The study revealed the media’s tendency to rely almost exclusively on governmental officials and other political elites. Official and governmental sources also dominated tweets discussing news more so than other types. Tweets quoting officials, however, were not related to more favorites, retweets, or comments. Newspapers exhibited an increased tendency to lean on officials compared with television stations. Newspapers also seemed to be keener on keeping their own information flowing throughout by linking to their own outlets. The analysis points to traditional gatekeeping practices, evident in the use of the platform as a marketing tool to promote outlets’ own content, to source governmental and party officials and journalists, and to discuss the news. Keywords: Lebanon, news media, gatekeeping, sourcing, Twitter, television, newspapers In a highly connected social world where liking, sharing, and commenting have become part of people’s daily routines, the monopoly of traditional media as the sole disseminators of news has eroded (Hermida, Fletcher, Korell, & Logan, 2012). The unraveling of the hierarchies between mass media and media consumers (Hermida et al., 2012) brought with it changes in the media ecology, thus challenging the power of traditional news outlets to make and deliver news (Ahmed, Cho, & Jaidka, 2019).

  • Rob Kardashian, His Then-Fiancée Blac Chyna and Their Pregnancy/Newborn Daughter, for One Season
    The Neoliberal Life of the “Failing” Kardashian: Robert Kardashian On (Not) Keeping up with the Kardashians Leah Groenewoud (Third year, RLCT/GEND Major) GEND 3076 Dr. Wendy Peters April 5, 2015 Introduction Keeping up with the Kardashians (KUWTK) is a reality television show that follows the lives of the Kardashian family – a famous, upper-class Californian family consisting of Kris Jenner (the Kardashians’ mother and business manager), her (now ex-) husband Caitlyn Jenner and their children. Kris’ children include Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Robert Kardashian, and Kris and Caitlyn have two younger children, Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Rob & Chyna is a reality TV spin-off of KUWTK which followed Rob Kardashian, his then-fiancée Blac Chyna and their pregnancy/newborn daughter, for one season. This paper will employ a textual analysis of these two shows to analyze how Robert Kardashian’s life and life choices are portrayed as personal failures. Conversations and information about Rob – in the 12 episodes across 6 seasons of KUWTK, and 6 episodes of season 1 of Rob & Chyna which I studied – are consistently about how Rob must change, and that he is not happy or successful the way he is. Robert Kardashian is consistently portrayed as a failure, which this paper will clarify to mean a neoliberal failure. This paper will analyze the neoliberal logics of the narratives about Robert and the way he lives, including narratives about his health, his (lack of) independence and self-esteem, his marriageability and employability.i I will conclude with an analysis of how KUWTK and Rob & Chyna facilitate a ‘panoptic existence’ for Rob, in which his family, the viewers and even himself surveil and regulate Rob.

  • The Kardashians and the Ruminating Strategy
    Sociology Study, July 2018, Vol. 8, No. 7, 345‐350 D doi: 10.17265/2159‐5526/2018.07.005 DAVID PUBLISHING The Kardashians and the Ruminating Strategy Claudia Lisa Moellera Abstract Many have wondered in these years about the reason behind the huge success the Kardashian (‐Jenner) family raised and gained. Even if the reality show might not be one of the most innovative, nor original television products, it is impossible to see how the Kardashian’s clan managed to become something more than a family who likes to air their dirty (and maybe expansive) laundry in public. Albeit there are different reality shows that have portrayed almost every possible family: religious, heavy metal, gipsy, wealthy Californian, dysfunctional, party animals; the Kardashians celebrated in 2018 their 10 years of reality shows. This might appear a silly, and not even a big deal: TV shows have existed for longer time in the American (and not only) panorama, yet the Kardashian made it possible to conquest with their unique style, and communication strategy something that other reality shows families did not reach. What did the Kardashians do? The Kardashians created a new communication strategy that allowed them to be the most popular family on three different media: press, television, and social media. Keywords Kardashian, Søren Kierkegaard, hermeneutics of television, internet and television, reality shows The Kardashians forged a new type of communication Indeed, the Kardashians’ material is rarely new. strategy that involves different media, in which every The ability of this family and the key of their success media explains and gives different elements to rely on the ability to use and re-use the same material understand part of the story that another media has and stories all over again.
