Mostly left years ago, but as the band plays out the Titanic I'm remembering what Twitter meant to me for a decade. I miss the community we built back then. For #medialiteracy, justice, comedy, and community--find me on FB (my full name), IG (this handle), eventually new spaces.

I do hope that in any potential coverage of B/M's podcast, responsible media critics and entertainment journalists report the context -- not just that they cribbed my title, but that their business model is counter to the pod's pretense. My book exposed; they cover up every day. twitter.com/jamiaw/status/

Definitely a PR choice for

to give its podcast the same name as

’s 2010 book that exposed the team’s attempts to cover up rapes that happened on their shows! Can’t see how this could possibly backfire!

Thanks to

for alerting me to this yesterday. I'm still processing the hypocrisy of it all.

Did you see this,

? Bunim/Murray just ripped off the title of my book (the one you praised years ago, Reality Bites Back) for a podcast they're pretending will let people in on what really happens behind the scenes. As if B/M doesn't profit from maintaining the lies.

. Like any reality TV behemoth, Bunim/Murray has a vested interest in deceiving us about what happens behind the scenes. Esp B/M, which has covered up rapes on set (as I discussed in RealityBitesBackBook.com) All coverage of this podcast should include this context.

The same production company that helped pioneer this toxic genre is using the same exact title as @jennpozner’s meticulously researched and reported book that exposed reality television and advocated for media literacy? And that isn’t mentioned in @DEADLINE’s reporting? Come on.

THREAD: Deeply disingenuous that Bunim/Murray, a main perpetrator of audience and cast deception, has swiped the title of my 10yr-researched media literacy exposé of reality TV for a podcast pretending to uncover (not continue) the genre's manipulation.

So many of the names I thought of have been mentioned, thankfully, but I’d add Amy Goodman. Also, I’d prioritize journalists from countries also under threat, folks who can be instructive. And media critics like @jennpozner who can address how pop culture moves the needle.

Thank you! I really can't wait to see the film. I was telling my partner about it a couple of months ago, and then a few of my friends in the media literacy world, and everyone knows how important this has the potential to be. The conversation you're breaking open.
