Abstract:
|
Narratives are very powerful and important aspects to our society that are conveyed through numerous mediums, including the prevalent medium of television. In this study, the reality television show the Girls Next Door is analyzed to answer the question:
How do the narratives of the reality television show The Girls Next Door create “advertainment” for the Playboy brand? A purposive sample of nine episodes from season one of the Girls Next Door is analyzed through Seymour Chatman’s narrative structure and Walter R. Fisher’s narrative paradigm of narrative probability. |
