Do We Need Music Journalists More Than Ever Now?!

Today I’m speaking with my favourite music jounalist of all time, Pat Carty, who writes for numerous outlets, but particularly Hot Press, Ireland’s leading music magazine. We discuss the merits, the pitfalls and the role of a music journalist in the music industry. Do we need them? Is it important to have curators and “gatekeepers”? Let’s talk about it.
