Amid an influx of news about job cuts in the journalism industry, "Entertainment Tonight" Executive Producer Linda Bell Blue, High Noon Entertainment’s Jim Berger, LHeflin Filmworks’ Lance Heflin and Bunim/Murray Productions’ Jon Murray had good news for School of Journalism students Friday.
The four legendary producers, at a symposium held at the Reynolds Journalism Institute, revealed another application for the skills acquired in the journalism field: reality television.
“Reality television is kind of like journalistic storytelling,” said Esther Thorson, associate dean of graduate studies at the journalism school. She served as one of the symposium’s moderators.
Although news and reality television are often viewed as two opposite ends on the media spectrum, they might not be as different as they appear, the event’s featured speakers said.
