| MUMBAI:
Amateur journalists will vie for a year long position at Rolling Stone
magazine in a new reality series for MTV US.
Contestants will work
with the veteran music magazine’s senior editors to develop their writing
skills and secure interviews with artists, actors and politicians. Rolling
Stone founder and publish Jann Wenner says, "Throughout our history we have
seen the careers of some of the nation's most notable journalists flourish, including
Cameron Crowe and the late Hunter S. Thompson. We are anxious to meet the candidates
and welcome them into the Rolling Stone family as they embark on their professional
careers." MTV executive VP programming
Lois Curren says, "The series will capture the drama and excitement of the
fast-paced world of Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone has long been an
incubator for top journalists, which makes this an amazing opportunity for aspiring
writers." The show will be taped in New York from June through
August and is expected to premiere later this year. |
