If you’re a music journalist, you know that writing about the genre can be a tricky proposition. After all, music fans are incredibly demanding and often unforgiving, so it’s vital that you understand your audience well before beginning to write an article on a particular artist.
As such, the best way to write music news is to ensure that your piece flows naturally from one section to the next, ensuring that the reader is inextricably drawn through the entire article. This will require careful research, and some re-reads, but if on the final draft you can be confident that each part is relevant to your audience, then you have done an excellent job.
The music industry is constantly changing, and this is especially true of the world of streaming services. With new platforms offering a wide range of musical styles, it’s important that journalists stay up to date with what’s going on in the genre to ensure that their articles are accurate and compelling.
