Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
The concept of romance is mass produced in American popular culture. Television audiences consume a myriad of mediated representations of courtships and relationships in fictional, and often unrealistic, tales of true love. Over the past 25 years, reality dating shows have blurred the line between fact & fiction, creating a new platform for delivering the mediated messages that shape the hearts and minds of viewers across the country. This study utilizes content analysis and survey research to examine portrayals of romance on reality TV.
