- Title
PM Magazine: A Missing Link in the Evolution of Reality Television.
- Authors
Crew, Richard
- Abstract
In this article the author examines the influence of the television program "PM Magazine," for which he was a production executive from 1979-84. He offers a description of the program format and describes the significant success of the show in the late 1970s and into the 1980s. The author contends that "PM Magazine," which placed significant emphasis on the activities of ordinary people in local community settings, was a prototype of the reality television programs that became popular in the early 21st century.
