Douglas McLennan’s Arts Journal Newsletter is a free daily online publication that offers all aspects of Arts journalism occurring around the world. (A paid for subscription offers even more info daily.) There are presently over 30,000 subscribers to this invaluable resource which addresses developments in music, dance, opera, theater, media, visual offerings, writings/words, blogs, etc. It incorporates articles from most major print publications and independent writers in addition to a listing for administrative art-related job openings.
Here are some topics presented in recent newsletters:
- Our Playlists Are Filled With ‘Old’ Music
- Lessons about Value and AI from the Digital Revolution
- Sales of CDs and CD Players are Soaring
- How Netflix went from Zeitgeist to, Well, Zeitghost
- Some Questions For and About the Suddenly Shuttered Phoenix Symphony
- San Francisco’s SFMoMA Gets a Big Boost from a K-Pop Star
One can reference previous articles as well and there is also an option to subscribe to the free weekly letter instead of the daily one. Given the lack of coverage that artistic endeavors receive in our major media outlets, this newsletter is a necessity for those who want to keep up with what’s really happening in our Arts communities.
