If you read further down in the Wiki entry you find:
In 2006 Dickinson starred in her own reality show, *The Janice Dickinson
Modeling Agency<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Janice_Dickinson_Modeling_Agency>
*, for Oxygen <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_(TV_network)>. The
program, which ran for four seasons, documented Dickinson launching a new
career as a modeling agent.
So I take the meaning as "what a documentary does".
