DOES THE MUSIC BUSINESS STILL NEED MUSIC JOURNALISTS?
|
SATURDAY, MAY 28TH - 14.45 – 15.30 - DOES THE MUSIC BUSINESS STILL NEED MUSIC JOURNALISTS?
|
|
Does the music press still matter? The UK music business has always had a
particularly intense and fertile (if often combative) relationship with music journalism. Throughout Europe, the challenge of the internet has seen a decline in the scale, sales, range and influence of traditional music publications. How has UK music journalism met this challenge, and can rock critics retain their influence in a digital age? Leading music journalist Neil McCormick and hugely experienced PR Gillian Porter discuss the role of music journalism in a fast changing business.

Neil McCormick
Neil McCormick is one of the UK’s best known music critics. His weekly column in the Daily Telegraph is syndicated around the world and he is a regular guest on BBC Television and radio. His memoir of a misspent youth as a failed rock star has been filmed as Killing Bono (out April 2011). Despite the discouragement of some of his fellow critics, Neil continues to occasionally make music on the sidelines under the alias The Ghost Who Walks.
