Economy Dashes Aspiring Journo's Dreams
Adam from MTV's The Paper is J-school Dropout.
Amanda Finally Proves She's In Charge Of The Paper
Last night, MTV aired the final two episodes of The Paper, and we're totally sad about it. There's still a whole semester left! Why they gotta leave us hanging like that? Anyway, it was great to see Amanda finally assert some control over her staff, specifically over managing editor Alex, who, in the final minutes of…
More Disappointments For Amanda On The Paper
Last night on The Paper, the kids got ready for Homecoming. Adam (whose dance and shirt in this clip is amazing) triumphed over the football jock by winning Homecoming King. And Amanda was asked to the dance by a kid from the Latin Club, only to be let down after he got grounded and was forced to back out. Seriously,…
The Paper: Big Boys Do Cry
My favorite underdog on The Paper, EIC Amanda, has finally started to assert her authority in the kindest way possible but is still being mocked and disrespected by her fellow editors (particularly Trevor, the biggest blowhard I've ever had an inappropriate crush on). Adam, the flamboyant High School Musical fan, is…
The Shit Hits The Paper
The kids on The Paper went on deadline for the first issue of the school year and under the new regime of Amanda as "In Chief." It seemed to be a mess. Amanda got too caught up writing her own editorial (which she edited while on the can) to actually run the operation, nobody knew how to make a PDF file, and they had…
The Paper's Amanda Lorber Wins Hearts, Sings Songs
We love MTV's The Paper, and its fearless editor-in-chief Amanda Lorber. FourFour's Rich Juzwiak (whom you may recognize as the hunky voice of reason from Pot Psychology) wrote a great post about Amanda that puts into words — much more eloquently than we ever could — just how wonderful The Paper really is. ("It's…
The Paper: "Turn Your Head And Cough"
We're still totally in love with MTV's reality show The Paper, and its portrayal of teens as something other than the scary, greedy, illiterate assholes we've become used to seeing on television. On last night's episode, managing editor Alex and another Circuit staff member decided to do a "serious" investigative…
The Paper's Editor-In-Chief Gets A New Nose For News
We cannot stress this enough: The Paper is the best original programming MTV has had in years. The kids are great, the drama is real (unlike some other "reality" shows on the network), and it's really fun to watch kids get so passionate about something other than the color of Lexus they're getting for their sixteenth…
"Journalists Are The Most Important People In The World," Says High School Journalist
Last night, MTV premiered its new reality series The Paper, and it's sofa king good! In the brief 30 minutes we got to spend with the kids on staff at Florida high school newspaper The Circuit, it was really cute to see how enthusiastic they all are (just wait till they realize that print journalism is a dying field),…
