“The catalyst for these protoreality shows was, as ever, a labor strike:”
Emily Nussbaum, Cue the Sun!: The Invention of Reality TV

“Early on, LAPD commander Daryl Gates had said no to Cops filming in his city. Then, in 1991, George Holliday recorded the beating of Rodney King, graphic evidence of police brutality that led to a mass uprising a year later, after the jury delivered a not-guilty verdict. In 1994, the new LAPD police chief, Willie Williams, agreed to let Cops film his officers. “At this juncture, it makes certain sense for the department to receive some positive coverage,” said Gary Greenebaum, the president of the police commission, in the Los Angeles Times.”
Emily Nussbaum, Cue the Sun!: The Invention of Reality TV

“The way most WGA writers saw it, the genre was the enemy—a wedge networks used to resist union demands, first in 1988, when the WGA struck for twenty-two weeks, and then again in 2001. If reality laborers suffered, maybe they deserved to.”
Emily Nussbaum, Cue the Sun!: The Invention of Reality TV

“The more you give to your job, the more guilt you feel at home. The more you excel at home, the more behind you feel at work. Women are squeezed into a smaller and smaller corner, until there is no room to feel much of anything aside from anger or helplessness.”
Pooja Lakshmin, Real Self-Care: A Transformative Program for Redefining Wellness

“Scanlon would go on to edit two more seasons of The Apprentice, then got fired, two weeks before Christmas, after a male editor came back from paternity leave.”
Emily Nussbaum, Cue the Sun!: The Invention of Reality TV
