This project looks at the genre of english-language reality television in Singapore and makes recommendations for the future directions for english-language local reality programs. In a television format adaptation, the cultural aspects of the society where the programs are broadcasted in play a significant role. A format originally developed for a certain Western culture calls for the cultural gap to be filed between the format and the viewers to suit the local context. This project employs a historical survey of the reality television genre in the United States and Singapore and examines a few case studies of model reality programs and their format adaptations. ​Master of Mass Communication 2010-04-23T01:22:46Z 2010-04-23T01:22:46Z 2006 2006 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10356/35706 application/pdf
