HEARD AROUND
“Sarah Coyne, professor of family life at Brigham Young University, co-authored a recent study on media aggression and found that out of 120 hours of programming, an average of 52 acts of hostility (physical and verbal) are broadcast per hour on reality TV. Non-reality programming contained only 33 such incidents per hour. Coyne concludes, ‘[Programming is] producing this culture of being mean to each other,’ Coyne said. ‘We're setting up our culture to being overreactive.’ (The study was published in June's Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media.)”
