On Friday, March 30 2018, we held a Writer’s Roundtable with our guest music writer panelists Chris Kelly (The Washington Post, Washington City Paper, Fact Magazine) and Casey Embert (Washington City Paper). In a little under an hour, Chris and Casey covered music journalism topics including:
- How to balance positive and negative reviews
- Ethical standards in writing
- Appropriate ways to reach out to artists as members of the media
- What goes into a good show review
- Chris and Casey gave feedback on two of our writers’ pieces: Patrick Blinkhorn’s show review of Looky Looky at Club Toilet 2017 – Movement and Michael Khalifeh’s Up Next feature on DMV Deep
Listen to the insight Chris and Casey had on each of these topics:
