Amanda Lorber Controversy Sparks War of the Young Journos

Ruh roh. A new generation of New York journalists have already begun to turn on one another. After a reporter from the Columbia Spectator named Alexandria Symonds wrote a nasty couple of sentences about Amanda Lorber, editor-in-chief of Cypress Bay High School's The Circuit and star of the MTV reality series The Paper, she got totally Lorbered in an angry email that Amanda sent in response. Go Amanda! Now friends of Symonds are out for revenge against writer Molly Jane Rosen, who originally published Lorber's snappy missive on Daily Intel.

The Paper's Amanda Lorber Begins Journalism Career With Bitchy Email

Um, dag. We knew we liked Amanda Lorber, the go-get-'em star of MTV's bittersweet study of a high school newspaper The Paper, but we didn't know we liked her this much. Recently some uppity so-and-so (from a fuckin' Columbia newspaper, natch) wrote a nasty article on Lorber, calling her "overbearing and annoying" and citing her "crippling self-consciousness and a terminally unfulfilled desire to be liked." Lorber saw this as an unfair and unqualified attack, and responded with an acid-tongued, well-worded email. And it's awesome!

New York Bound

Amanda Lorber, the dynamo crazy newspaper editor from MTV's delightful reality series The Paper (much loved by me and, especially, Jezebel) will be attending NYU in the fall. She plans to study journalism and to hopefully live a "normal" life, untainted by her sudden TV fame. Sure she can! Look at how the... uh, Olsens did it.
