Abstract [en]

Documentary audiences are hard at work finding and engaging in multiform factual content spread across a wide range of streaming platforms such as Netflix or YouTube. These entertainment platforms and the accompanying digital mess of generic labelling, algorithmic recommendations, and social media marketing, in many ways push audiences to the edge of their capacities. This chapter investigates how documentary and reality series are visible on entertainment platforms, and why factuality is valuable to audiences. In particular, a transregional (Nordic audiences) and a time sensitive case (Covid-19 crisis) is used to bring to the foreground the highly contextual, unstable, and social nature of factual genres such as documentary and reality series.
