  MTV offers new glimpses of Kerry - The Boston Globe
The first Actual Young Person to show up on MTV News's "Choose or Lose: 20 Million Questions for John Kerry'' is a fresh-faced guy with punk hair; think Kerry's famous mop if it were coaxed into spikes and gelled to stand upright.
Politics has always been a balancing act for MTV executives, who want to appeal to attention-deficit-addled viewers while fulfilling what executives see as their civic duty.
One could argue that showing up on MTV is pandering - though no more, it would seem, than showing up at an AARP forum - but Kerry, in his red tie and dark suit, manages to come across as himself, stiff and craggy and generally uncool.

MTV has both the authority and the means to inform its children of their errant civil rights, and it will not hesitate to use them.
As is the case with network news, MTV News relies on its fair share of sound-bite inanities, in which reporters can be heard to fawn over unpleasant characters such as Mary J. Blige, Puff Daddy and Fiona Apple.
MTV News takes a different tack, whereby its own opinions are perfectly apparent, though occasionally undermined by the bullheaded observations of its sometimes dimwitted interviewees--and this may well make for the most "objective" thing on television.

 CNN.com - Doug Herzog, Dan Cortese on MTV's 20th - August 2, 2001
Herzog: Well, there was a time when MTV was doing nothing but reality-based programming beyond the videos, and the networks, you know, weren't just interested in that, and they weren't interested in the form at all.
MTV never grew old with it's audience, and it remained very true to a very specific demographic, young people, you know, pretty much between the ages of 12 and 34, or 18 and 24 more specifically.
And whatever the trend was, MTV would try and lead it, follow it at the same time, but it would cycle their audience out, and they weren't afraid to let their audience go, and cycle in new young people, you know, with each given year, and they still remain very vibrant that way.

But most of the news reports are a mix of stories on youth environmental movements at high schools and colleges, and tips on green living.

 Review: MTV News Presents: Iraq Uploaded | TPMCafe
It’s the product of this freedom that is the subject of “MTV News Presents: Iraq Uploaded,” a half-hour special report that explores the phenomenon of U.S. soldiers in Iraq filming in the line of fire and then distributing their videos on user-generated content websites like youtube.com, military.com, and ifilm.com.
A 28-year-old staff sergeant states matter-of-factly at the outset of the program, “everybody has a camera,” and goes on to describe how some are mounted onto the cannons of tanks, others onto soldiers’ helmets.
If nothing else these videos, and this MTV News program for alerting a greater public to their existence, serve admirably as a channel to some of that information.

 village voice > news > Joy Press talks with MTV's Gideon Yago by Joy Press
Network news is heading for a crisis, with fewer and fewer young people using it as their primary information source.
But for years now MTV's news division has sought engaging ways to deal with pressing subjects, as in a recent documentary contrasting the lives of Palestinian and Israeli college students.
So it's hardly surprising that MTV's been a focus of right-wing anxiety, accused by conservatives of being a "mouthpiece for liberalism." Which might explain why all the MTV News people I spoke to got incredibly cagey on the topic of bias.

Now, the 27-year-old perpetual youngster plans to target the MTV generation with a teen prom flick that he'll develop and write, but not star in, for the music network.
The comedic telepic features the stumbling blocks encountered by a group of teens trying to organize a prom for a student body that's culturally diverse (no doubt the network that introduced us to The Osbournes will find a way to make this lesson in PC sensitivity a laugh).
MTV had reportedly been interested in a project showcasing a modern-day prom and execs suggested the idea during a meeting with Sarah Michelle Gellar's hubby, who had expressed interest in being more than just a pretty face.
