<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ligatures:none">This paper discusses some of the findings from the early stages of the AHRC-funded project ReCARETV (2023-2026). The project holistically investigates care across the UK reality television (RTV) sector through
a multidimensional analysis of policy, production and participation. Recent years have seen growing public scrutiny of the sector and attention has focussed on ‘duties of care’ towards individual participants. At the same time, new regulatory protocols are
changing the landscape for RTV production, where broadcasters and production companies must ensure that participants – particularly those deemed as ‘vulnerable’ – are adequately informed and protected. While these approaches are focussed on individual psychology
and risk avoidance, this paper puts the intersecting relations of the working practices in policy, production and the experiences of RTV participants in dialogue for the first time. We consider what this might mean for the recent calls to unionise RTV participants,
as well as the implications for precarious and ‘illegitimate’ media work more broadly. Working with a feminist framework for care, we detail some early findings from the first stage of data collection across two of our work packages. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
