Old Fart Journalism

Back in the day, when you wanted to pick up a new album you either had to literally judge the album by its cover, or you resorted to your favorite metal magazine where you could read a review written by a journalist that stuck more to the facts rather than their opinions. Some say that journalism today has switched to more opinionated reporting rather than fact based. Artists these days can have great success if deemed “trending”. Our panelists range from the old-school mindset to the newer methods of journalism. Be it print, social media platforms or exclusively online publications.
