Arts journalism is changing underneath us. Every news organization is rethinking how it covers culture, and every week brings new evidence of those changes. We are members of the National Arts Journalism Program, an association of some 500 arts and cultural journalism in the United States. The board of NAJP decided to start this blog in hopes of spurring thoughtful discussion about...
covering culture.
This isn't meant to be a death watch. In some significant ways, arts journalism is a growth industry. While we'll certainly be noting personnel changes, we'll also be writing about some of the interesting experiments going on and debating ideas and making observations about the practice of arts journalism. And, since the news about arts journalism isn't currently collected in one place anywhere, we'll use the blog as a place to post the latest news.
We also want to draw attention to some of the best arts journaism out there, and we'll occasionally publish some here as well.
