MTV has decided to delve into the fascinating world of high school journalism for a reality series called The Paper. I wonder if it will remind me of the days I spent working on my high school paper or if it won't be realistic at all. It's a 60-person staff, which is about three times the size of mine. And these kids aren't lacking in passion, with the copy editor noting that "being a journalist is the most important job in the world." Wow, I had no idea I was that important! Surgeons, cancer researchers, etc., step aside!

Honestly, there isn't usually a whole lot of interesting news that goes on at a high school, so I'm curious to see if this can hold viewers' attention, or if MTV's going to find ways to spice it up, as networks do with most reality shows. It premieres Monday at 9:30 p.m.
