  Gave a presentation on \"The World According to Cover Girl\". Taken from a chapter from Jennifer Pozner's book \"Reality Bites Back\". The presentation focused on product placement in reality television and exposing the connection between reality television content with marketing/advertising. In this presentation I explained and gave examples of the poor quality

  product placement

  and how harmful messages are encoded in these shows in American reality television.
