Abstract

The article discusses the notion of “television reality”, seen as a symptom of the tension between fiction and “non-fiction” in TV. The reflection comes from examples by the Jornal Nacional, in 2010, to undertake a critical review of the concept of fiction and as a way to approach the notion of “possible worlds”, developed by authors such as Umberto Eco and Thomas Pavel, and, approximate to the media phenomena by researchers as Marcela Farré and Marie-Laure Ryan.
