Synopsis

Reality television has become a world-wide phenomenon which has the capability to crossover cultural boundaries and appeal to distinctly different markets. Drawing theories from media studies, economics, cultural studies and social science, this book reviews how reality TV has conquered the world and has the potential to remove successful dramatic genres from the prime-time line-up.
