Today's world barely has time for anything at all. Everything is being made faster to accommodate a faster pace in life. Video sites like YouTube are still prevalent, but up and coming sites like "vines" are beginning to take over. Nobody has time for even a 3 minute video....our maybe they are too impatient? I guess that's another blog. This brings me to the subject at hand.
Magazines have been around for decades. Anyone who was anyone would be found in a magazine. For some people, magazines helped them gain popularity which may have in turn boosted their career.
We all know times change by the minute. Now websites pose a threat to magazines because people are on the internet more than anything. A link to an article someone with a large following posted...could do the same as a magazine article. Maybe even cost the artist less money.
My question is this. Are magazines (hard copy) still the way to go in this day and age? Or should an up and coming artist be looking towards having articles posted on major websites?
Let me know what your thoughts are! Comment and share...thanks!
I agree with you. I just know personally that hard copy magazines can be really pricey for even the smallest of articles. Some of these websites and articles online can reach millions as opposed to hundreds, or thousands.. plus with articles, you can promote yourself without promoting others. With hard copy magazines you promo every person in the mag and it cost a lot for artists that may not have the cash to stretch..
