Reuters reports on a new Israeli reality TV show on which contestants fight Israel’s image problem around the world:
Devised by an American-Jewish benefactor, the series begins airing next week with contestants in business suits plying their propaganda skills at various foreign locales, a Channel Two advertisement said on Thursday.
In a format recalling the U.S. reality show “The Apprentice,” where participants vie for a management post under magnate Donald Trump, an Israeli panel including an ex-security chief and a former army spokesman will weed out the winner.
The prize: an all-expenses-paid year working as an Israeli public relations liaison in New York.
The Jerusalem Post reports that that filming will take place in Washington, New York, France and the UK, and that more than 5,000 people responded to an looking for potential participants.
