PR: The Reality Series

Great, just what we needed...more reality TV. And this time, the focus is none other than PR.

Yes, MTV has decided it's necessary to chronicle the exploits of PR professionals (if you can call them that) at Lizzie Grubman's New York firm. The show, which is called "PoweR Girls," airs in March. Check out the description from MTV's web site:

The life of a PoweR Girl at Lizzie Grubman's New York City PR firm is sometimes glamorous, sometimes stressful but always exciting. Don't miss the drama on PoweR Girls.

Now, I'll withhold final judgment until I have a chance to watch it, but based on this description, I fear this show will do little to quash the stereotypes about women in PR.

I'll provide an update after the first show.

I'd like to recommend some research. As I recall, the only truly notable thing Lizzie Grubman has ever done is attempt to run down a bunch of people standing outside a South Beach nightclub in a fit of pique. I'd really be interested to see how the typical "publicist's" experience and education stacks up against a true public/media relations professional. My hunch is that no one should honestly be putting the two in the same category.

Thank you.
