'Music in the Digital Era'


Music in the Digital Era is a new site created by myself for the final production project of my MA in Multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. It is a news site about the digitalization of music. The 'cost of free music' and how the digital era is changing the face of the music industry are investigated. The website contains audio, video and several written articles. Below is an introduction to the website and a link so you can visit the site and get updated on the latest news:

The Digital Revolution

The digital revolution is well underway; the possibilities for growth and change are endless. Yet we are currently in what is widely referred to as 'the era of free music', with illegal downloads and file sharing becoming common practise.

Many artists, retailers and industry insiders are worried about how to monetize the digital space. This site uncovers the truth about what is really happening in the music industry and what is set to happen in the future.

The impact of digitalization on artists, the fans and the industry are discussed here by the people directly involved. To read more click here to and you will be directed to the site. There will be follow up articles posted here on my blog, please feel free to leave comments about articles and suggestions for improving the site.
