    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.

  • 1: Introduction
    1: INTRODUCTION FRIENDS OF FAIR HOUSING, On April 11, 1968, the federal Fair Housing Act was signed into law. On that day, President Lyndon B. Johnson stated that, “Now, with this bill, the voice of justice speaks again. It proclaims that fair housing for all — all human beings who live in this country — is now a part of the American way of life.” The hard-fought struggle for many decades to pass a federal law would not have been possible without organizing efforts led by civil rights organizations, religious leaders, and ordinary Americans who cared deeply about equality and justice. Demonstrations and marches occurred in many cities, demanding fair housing and an end to segregation. Tragically, in the end, it took the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, 1968 and the subsequent eruption of violence in dozens of American cities to propel Congress to pass the Act. Dr. King was deeply committed to fair housing and what he deemed to be the goal of the civil rights movement – the creation of the beloved community. He understood that residential segregation was the foundation for many of the inequalities of our society, and therefore, fair housing was a requisite cornerstone of a just society. Dr. King once said, “Our goal is to create a beloved community, and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives.” In other words, to create the beloved community requires not only winning hearts and minds, but also both restraining the actions of the heartless who discriminate and instituting policies that foster the creation of more just, equitable, and inclusive communities.

How much defense is enough in the post–Cold War era?”1 Finding a satisfactory answer to these deceptively simple questions not only motivated the Bottom-Up Review but has arguably animated defense strategy for the past quarter century.

  • Pandemic Marks 1St PDA Asia Pacific's Anniversary
    Volume 1 • Issue 2 July 2020 www.pda.org/pdaletter Pandemic Marks 1st PDA Asia Pacific’s Anniversary Having just passed the milestone of our first-year initiation as the PDA Asia Pacific lead- ership, we find ourselves in a totally unpredictable situation. Thankfully, we belong to a network of association industry professionals who followed the situation in China starting in January. This enabled us to adapt to the situation quickly. Aside from the operational precautionary measures by operating our team in Singapore under the business continuity plan protocol early on, we had yet to see the impact in the region and the duration of it. Without giving away my age, I recall the days of SARS and applied what I learned from that time. Still, as we now all know, not much could have prepared us for this. Following the launch of PDA Asia Pacific last year, we reached out to PDA’s chapters in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Singapore. We listened and we learned, adding three new events in these markets. We recognized that PDA members in several countries had a wonderful process in place, providing a good quantity of education for members. PDA’s Japan Chapter already has a strong framework. We also learned regulatory agencies and Marcel Ewals, PDA Asia Pacific Office other organizations in the region PDA was well known but its presence not felt. With this in mind, we drafted an ambitious plan to be represented at events, industry meetings and digital offerings. Of course, digital resources have become more critical as of late and we hope that you have encountered more PDA activities whilst browsing the internet feedback is always welcome.
