A terrific and timely book that through a historical journey of authenticity in the broadcast and digital ages gives us new ways of thinking about mediated authenticity and reveals the complex relationships we have with what we discover (or perhaps always already knew) to be the illusion of the real. (Jennifer Stromer-Galley, Syracuse University) Enli offers an important new way to think about the history of reality as presented by the media. The book demonstrates how the media secure public faith, as well as why people's faith in the media breaks down over time. (Lynn Spigel, Northwestern University) A fascinating study of the ambiguity at the heart of all mediated communication. Real or not? True or not? Authentic... or not? In 'Mediated Authenticity' Gunn Enli deftly examines how radio, television and social media construct reality and how global audiences respond to them. An invaluable contribution to current international research into reality TV and beyond. (Paddy Scannell, University of Michigan)
