Abstract
This paper presents the experts’ discourse about the process of meaningconstruction around Reality TV and reality shows. They are much more than a genres’ repertoire, as they constitute a solid trend in current TV. These contents are very controversial but they are also appreciated by the audience; they are characterized by the salience attributed to common people, an exhibition of their privacy and a high degree of spectacularization. The purposes of this research were to explain which is the scope of these popular programs, which social imaginary are they building up, how they can get the viewers involved and which is the role played by the medium. A Delphi study was completed in order to capture a consensual discourse based on the opinions of experts coming from diverse disciplines related to the topic.Downloads
