Music Journalism

About this course

Music journalism is a specialist discipline that applies the craft of journalism and the critical art of music writing to one of the most culturally rich and emotionally powerful of human creative practices. Music journalists document and interpret musical culture, reviewing albums and live performances, profiling artists and scenes, investigating the music industry, and situating musical developments in their cultural and historical contexts. The discipline requires both a genuine love of and knowledge about music and the professional skills of journalism: clear and engaging writing, the ability to meet deadlines, the capacity to interview subjects and extract revealing quotations, and an editorial understanding of what makes a piece of writing work. At the University of Chester you will study this three-year full-time programme, which includes a year abroad, giving you the opportunity
