There has been a lot of talk about the decline of printed newspapers and its effects. Many cities have lost or will lose their daily newspapers. Many newspapers that have not been discontinued have cut staff and consequently art coverage has suffered. This started me questioning if this could be the beginning of the decline in arts journalism.
Today there are 3 main areas that provide art news to the public:
1. Newspapers – This communication method is declining rapidly as well as cutbacks in space alloted for the arts.
2. Magazines – Magazines have their own unique merits and some of them do a great job of presenting quality art news. Magazines, however, cannot provide timely articles like a newspaper.
3. Internet – More people than ever before are reading and writing about art. Although blogging is extremely popular, its doubtful that this will have the standards needed for quality arts journalism.
Because there is a great deal of interest in arts journalism today, I seriously doubt that the end is near. I believe the creative art world will find another avenue to provide us with quality arts journalism.
