About this listen

Most major music publications were born in the print era, but are now faced with shifting digital landscapes and an uphill battle to compete for eyes and ears. How has the music journalism category adapted as we shift from the paper to platform? How has the democraticization of music coverage changed the way we critique the industry? To answer all these questions and more, we speak with Ira Robbins, founder of Trouser Press. His seminal publication covered legendary artists like Cheap Trick, The Ramones, Brian Eno, The Clash, and more. We discuss how the attitude of his indie, DIY publication covering New York's emerging punk scene in the 70s can be applied today. We also touch on social media, the role of music critique and review for the modern listener, and the importance of honest, informed coverage in the industry. Learn more about your ad choices.
