TORONTO, Canada (PRWEB) July 11, 2003 - An ordinary person, in a not-so-ordinary situation. Dr. Stéphan Laroses Digital Hope" is reality entertainment unlike anything out there! Coming on August 1, 2003, this book will change the way you think of reality.

What has led to the popularity of reality entertainment?" As we enter this new phase of global humanity, we are simply trying to reconnect at a first person level, to feel each others pain.

Its not clear where the attraction to the real thing" started; biography and autobiography have always been especially popular. However, the recent, sudden increase in interest in reality entertainment has been credited to the dramatic expansion of television and the consequent inclusion of more extreme programming, as in Jerry Springer, Jenny Jones, et al, followed by the more contemporary Survivor," Big Brother" and Amazing Race" -type shows.

These programmes relentlessly demonstrate private life - emotions, feelings, attitudes, beliefs, etc., before an international audience. The advent of magazines that focus on personal life, such as People" and US," have also been influential.

Part of this phenomenon seems to be peoples attempts to connect in a world that seems increasingly disconnected. Reality TV, however, is somewhat lacking. After all, when we are seeking the real picture," it is hard to show it when so much of the environment of our subjects is not picked up by the camera lens.

Real people dont walk around with a cameraman holding a betacam, surrounded by cumbersome equipment, as well as a sound man with a boom mike, a producer with a radio, and a production assistant running around with release forms to be completed by any passer-by who may be accidentally included in the edited product.

And there is another part of the un-reality of reality TV: editing. The majority of the things that happen are not shown to us. We receive only the highlights. In a situation where were seeking to make contact with real people, reality TV seems to be falling short.

This is why reality entertainment has been brought to the next level. JBC Online E-Publishing has just announced its upcoming release of Dr Stéphan Laroses Digital Hope;" an unabridged, uncensored, absolutely real relationship between Stéphan and Hope, that will shake up your concept of the real" world in which we all live.
