MTV recruits teens to cover elections
Cory Bergman December 20th, 2007
MTV has recruited 51 teens and young adults to cover the 2008 elections throughout the country. Their blogs, photos and video will appear on Think.MTV.com and a new MTV mobile site. Also, their video will be posted on the AP’s Online Video Network, which by extension would appear on more than 1,800 affiliate sites. The MTV street teams will be geared up with laptops, video cameras and mobile phones — and it’s partially funded by a $700,000 grant from the Knight Foundation’s Knight News Challenge. Great idea!
Think.MTV.com users can set up profiles that outline issues that are important to them. They can also join groups and highlight organizations they support.

The only people that are dumber than the candidates themselves are the people who watch MTV; just what we need.
