MTV plans reality show based on journalists

MTV and Rolling Stone are teaming up for a reality series that will focus on would-be journalists as they compete for a one-year staff position at the legendary magazine.

"The series will capture the drama and excitement of the fast-paced world of Rolling Stone," said Lois Curren, executive vice-president of MTV programming.

"Rolling Stone has long been an incubator for top journalists, which makes this an amazing opportunity for aspiring writers."

The untitled MTV series will shadow candidates as they interview musicians, actors and politicians, and work with editors.
