REALITY TV
Reality TV has taken the world by storm. Its ubiquity is only matched by the universal criticism it attracts for being voyeuristic, vulgar and dehumanising.
Laurie Taylor explores the way in which reality television affects people's perceptions of their everyday lives with the help of Annette Hill, Professor of Media and Research Centre Director at the School of Media and Design, Westminster University and author of a new book Audiences and Popular Factual Television
CHILDREN and SEXUALITY
In the light of the recent Pitcairn case where disclosures of widespread child abuse were pitted against a defence of traditional cultural practices, Laurie Taylor asks is there such thing as a universal sexual morality particularly concerning children.
Laurie discusses the construction of childhood and children's sexuality with Dr Heather Montgomery, Lecturer in Childhood Studies at the Open University and Jenny Kitzinger, Professor of Media and Communication at the School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies, Cardiff University and author of Framing Abuse - Media Influence and Public Understanding of Sexual Violence Against Children.
