‘THE PAPER’ Is Quality Reality
TV’s new reality series “The Paper” is poised to become the latest buzz show. What’s so different? It’s set in a school, not a bar or a dorm. So? It takes place in a high school newsroom.
And? It’s about a group of really smart, ambitious, goal-oriented teenagers who freak out over deadlines and grammar more than sex and booze. When was the last time we saw that on reality TV?
As someone who’s been toiling in the trenches of journalism for most of her life, this is cause for celebration. “The Paper” tip-toed onto the air three weeks ago, quietly carving its own classy niche on Monday nights.
