In what seems like a near-whirlwind season, MTV‘s voyeuristic look into the cut-throat world of high school journalism comes to a close tonight. 

MTV has just started airing two episodes of its new reality series, The Paper, and yet the network is already searching for potential participants to appear on its sophomore season.  Apart from looking for inquisitive young journalists who are willing to share their lives with the viewers, the network is also looking for a proud and dedicated school that‘s willing to open up their doors to the show‘s producers.

It‘s impossible for me to judge The Paper, MTV‘s latest pseudo-documentary series, with fresh eyes, as I‘m certain it‘s impossible for anyone to look at it objectively when they‘ve been there. I was on my high school newspaper. I was on my college newspaper. I‘ve been a writer, a section editor, and a Managing Editor, so like anyone who‘s been through the gauntlet of school newspapers, I get it.

Every day, we here at BuddyTV will let you know all the new shows airing that night to help you plan your TV-viewing schedule. In addition, we’ll highlight two episodes we think are worth checking out to help diversify your love of TV.

MTV takes viewers to the world of high school journalism as it launches The Paper, a new reality series premiering on April 14.  The show is set in Cypress Bay High School in Weston, Florida, home of the award-winning newspaper
