MTV to team up with MySpace
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
MTV Networks said it would broadcast a series of town hall meetings that MySpace.com is arranging with 11 presidential candidates.
The hourlong sessions on college campuses will include some questions from the audience and others randomly selected from real-time submissions online.
The series is the first collaboration between Viacom Inc.’s MTV and News Corp.’s MySpace, which compete for young people interested in music. Like another rival, Google Inc.’s YouTube, MySpace has been working hard to establish itself in the political process.
