MUSIC JOURNALISM
I think it is essential to look at previous music journalist articles in order to get a feel for the sort of thing I need to include and especially the conventions that are important.
This is a Youtube video of a music journalist explaining what it takes to be a good music critic;
Mark Beaumont
Beaumont is a British freelance music journalist he has written in the past and continues to write for establishments including NME and The Guardian. I really like the way he writes and how he reviews bands in particular, he tends to be completely truthful in to what he thinks.
Examples of Guardian article;
Paul Du Noyer
Paul is another music journalist who has contributed to various different music magazines including; Mojo, Q and NME. He has interviewed artists from Madonna to Mick Jagger, he also has strong connections with Ringo Star and Paul McCartney from The Beatles. Writing history of music for Liverpool and London its safe to say he knows a lot about the industry.
This is a list of what he has acheived;
