   So my blog just turned 20! I've been writing for that long -- good grief. But not since the start have I really focused on the seedy subject of "reality" television programming, which is a shame because it's even more prevalent today as a cheap form of TV based on cynical principles of petty competition, rivalries, and the quest for approval. I was wondering if anyone was aware of any media studies texts or articles that analyse the links between (late) capitalism and "reality" shows? #AskFedi #media #MediaStudies #television

     @MediaActivist Hi Jay. I'm sorry, I don't have anything for you except to say...... CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 🎉 🥳

     That is a long time and an enormous amount of work. Very impressive. I'd love to be able to look back on doing something worthwhile like you can.

     Great job. Keep up the good work. All the best from the midlands in the UK.

     Dave👋

     @MediaActivist : sadly I have nothing to contribute to the topic of reality TV, which is absolutely not my forte, but I wanted to congratulate you ! 20 years on the web is no small feat. Congratulations :)
