Rolling Stone has an open casting call for aspiring journalists interested in being on a reality TV show in which contestants vie to write for the magazine. The solicitation suggests those selected for the show will work with Rolling Stone staffers and interview people of note as MTV cameras follow along. The winner of the competition scores a year-long position working at the legendary music magazine.

Rolling Stone is looking for aspiring amateur journalists to compete for a one-year staff position with the magazine -- while MTV tapes the competition for a new reality series. Working with the magazine's top editors, competitors will hone their writing skills and secure interviews with major musicians, actors, and politicians.

"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," says Rolling Stone founder and publish Jann Wenner. "We're anxious to meet the candidates and welcome them into the Rolling Stone family as they embark on their professional careers."

If you think you're made for Rolling Stone and MTV, here's what you need to know:

*The show will be taped for three months from June to August in New York City.

*To be eligible to apply, you must be at least 18 by June 9.

*You must be legally able to work in the U.S.

*Your first deadline: The application, including writing samples and a short videotape, must be received by April 7.

I'm sort of tempted by this, aside from the possibility of everyone seeing my fat ass on TV.

APRIL SEVENTH, DUDE. I'm hyperventilating so hard right now. Oh my god.

Oh man, and it has to actually be in their offices by April 7th. Anyone know how long it takes for something mailed from California to get to New York?

Depends how much change you use. Anything can be overnighted with delivery confirmation for a price...damn residency applications?!?! grrr
But I digress...that is plenty of time (before April 7) because you are brilliant!

I don't care that Rolling Stone is "lame," if I thought I had anywhere close to the musical knowledge needed to do this I'd apply in half a heartbeat.

Ever since I graduated college, I've always said outside of working as a screenwriter, working for a music magazine would be my dream job in life...and Rolling Stone, for all that it has lost in overall quality in the last 10 years or so, would still be the top of the pile. But...I would have less than a chance of making it onto a reality show. I'd bet lots of money that the people on the show will be a max age of 23 and look like the latest crop of rejected Real World pretty people without a writing, interviewing or musically charged bone in their body. Watch and see.

This is the easy way way IN. When I started telling people at the ripe young age of adolesence that i wanted to be a music journalist for the rest of my life, they always assumed Rolling Stone was my big dream. Nah.....fuck that.....I'ma shootin' for Spin. Or maybe Alternative press. Now when THOSE guys come 'a' knockin, I shall open the oppertunity door..... wink

If those are the main requirements, then apparently I should've been working for Rolling Stone for YEARS.

As much as I hate both Rolling Stone and reality TV, I'm gonna apply and hope that my being naked on the internet doesn't hurt my chances too much! I'd just about sell my soul to succeed as a writer.

Hmmm. I just might try this. After, of course, going through every post I've ever made on the internet and temporarily removing the many bashings of Rolling Stone...
