Must Read: Radio Done Right

September 24, 2009 by Marty Ronish

The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) is meeting in Philadelphia this week, and with the recession and general media discouragement pervading our field, they decided to put together a positive message — much needed! The result is a booklet called Radio Done Right, which you can read online by following the link. I highly recommend it. It will remind you of what you already know and will bring you back to some sort of balance if you’ve been making knee-jerk decisions. We all need help maintaining the courage of our convictions.

Music Writing and Classical Radio

August 26, 2009 by Mona Seghatoleslami

The death of classical music is not only an old topic, but broad as well. Looking at a few recent posts on classical music blogs, the discussion appears to be focusing more on specific aspects of classical music’s supposed morbidity.

Anne Midgette (blogging at the Washington Post’s Classical Beat) wonders whether the classical CD business is dying, and in response British music commentator Norman Lebrecht wrote that ways of communicating about classical music are disappearing.
