SIMONE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2009 1 © 2009 Daniel J. Simone 2 To Michael and Tessa 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A driver fails without the support of a solid team, and I thank my friends, who supported me lap-after-lap. I learned a great deal from my advisor Jack Davis, who when he was not providing helpful feedback on my work, was always willing to toss the baseball around in the park. I must also thank committee members Sean Adams, Betty Smocovitis, Stephen Perz, Paul Ortiz, and Richard Crepeau as well as University of Florida faculty members Michael Bowen, Juliana Barr, Stephen Noll, Joseph Spillane, and Bill Link. I respect them very much and enjoyed working with them during my time in Gainesville. I also owe many thanks to Dr. Julian Pleasants, Director Emeritus of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, and I could not have finished my project without the encouragement provided by Roberta Peacock. I also thank the staff of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program. Finally, I will always be grateful for the support of David Danbom, Claire Strom, Jim Norris, Mark Harvey, and Larry Peterson, my former mentors at North Dakota State University. A call must go out to Tom Schmeh at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame, Suzanne Wise at the Appalachian State University Stock Car Collection, Mark Steigerwald and Bill Green at the International Motor Racing Resource Center in Watkins Glen, New York, and Joanna Schroeder at the (former) Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC).

    Contact: January 26-28, 2007 Christine Eastman 949-481-5561 office 949-677-0309 cell FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE… [email protected] Announcing the 58th Annual Grand National Roadster Show… …and the GNRS‘2007 Builder of the Year’ Eric Peratt, Owner of Pinkee’s Rod Shop Pomona, Calif. (October 1, 2006) – The 58th annual Grand National Roadster Show (GNRS) is proud to honor Pinkee’s Rod Shop owner and founder, Mr. Eric Peratt as “Builder of the Year” for 2007. Peratt will be presented with this exclusive award at the show this year, which will be held January 26-28, 2007 at the famous Fairplex in Pomona, California. Says a humbled Peratt, “Wow, what an honor, considering past Builders of the Year, many of whom were my mentors.” He continued, “This would have been impossible to achieve without the help and support of the Pinkee’s crew, my family and the many great customers that I have had the opportunity to work with throughout the years. As all builders know, there are long days and longer days, and while winning awards isn’t everything, being recognized for your achievements sure does make those longer days a little more bearable.” Eric, an award-winning builder, is no stranger to the GNRS. In 2005, he won the Chip Foose Design Excellence Award with a show-stopping, jaw-dropping ’29 Ford pick-up nicknamed “Loaded,” which will be showcased in this year’s “Builder of the Year” display. Eric was also named “Trendsetter of the Year” at the 2001 SEMA Show for his excellence, quality and vision.

Cheryl-Anne Whitlock University of Wollongong Recommended Citation Whitlock, Cheryl-Anne, Is manipulation within the construct of reality television ethical?, Master of Arts - Research (Journalism) thesis, School of Creative Arts, University of Wollongong, 2012. http://ro.uow.edu.au/theses/3967 Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Is Manipulation within the Construct of Reality Television Ethical? A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree Master of Arts by Research (Journalism) from University of Wollongong by Cheryl-Anne Whitlock School of Creative Arts 2012 i Certification I, Cheryl-Anne Whitlock, declare that this thesis, submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Master of Arts by Research (Journalism), in the Faculty of Law, Humanities and The Arts, University of Wollongong, is wholly my own work unless otherwise referenced or acknowledged. The document has not been submitted for qualifications at any other academic institution. Cheryl-Anne Whitlock 16 February 2012 ii Abstract The main purpose of the thesis is to determine to what extent duty of care is extended to reality television participants, to what extent elements of reality television programming are manipulated and whether those manipulations are ethical. Program participants are encouraged to be their ‘real’ and authentic selves, yet reality programming itself is often so extensively manipulated that the genre renders its own output inauthentic, thus compromising participants’ contributions and casting their performance in the same false light.
