As magazine and newspaper audiences continue to de-center and age out, compelling new shapes of music journalism are growing on Instagram, Substack, TikTok, and YouTube, building new audiences as they grow.
We'll talk about journalists in all forms: writers, podcasters, vodcasters, content creators, music curators, DJs, archivists, influencers. And we'll discuss how stories about artists get shaped, told - sometimes by the artists themselves - placed and circulated. This is a panel for artists, journalists, publicists, managers, bookers, curators, and anyone trying to spread music's good word wide on the webs.
