I don't even know where to begin. I've only seen one episode, but already I'm disappointed in I'm from Rolling Stone. Reality tv has a few requisites and that's no doubt why the six undeserving "journalists" featured on the show are cliched, beautiful, and/or overly confident. Their personalities generate enough drama to make the show entertaining to watch, and that's about it. For journalistic integrity, look elsewhere.

Four years into my journalism degree and as an aspiring music journalist, I find it insulting to watch the tv-friendly cast. In this particular episode, Colin (the indie guy) has a horrible interview with the group We Are Scientists. His lack of preparation results in a lack of co-operation from the band. Another contestant, Krishtine, is shocked at the idea of a re-write, and complains about having to do a follow up interview.

The only encouraging element about the show, is that it makes you realize you can do better. And now, there's a chance to prove it. Each week on rollingstone.com a new writing contest is revealed for viewers to participate in. I can't help but think there'll be more talent in these entries, than the show will ever see.
