from Part VI - Developments since the Second World War

‘I do not believe that any mechanical device will put it out of business’, wrote the veteran Sunday editor of the New York Times, Lester Markel, on the fate of the daily newspaper in 1946. Radio had failed to curb America’s appetite for the daily, and Markel was confident that television, then the latest curiosity, would not do so either. Of course, the impact of technological change would, despite Markel’s scepticism, be one of the major factors affecting post-war music criticism in the United States. Television changed the nation’s habits, particularly in terms of news coverage, while newspapers merged and faltered. In the digital age, the entire print journalism model has been transformed as new platforms emerge and open up opportunities. These changes have combined with the major social and cultural shifts that effectively shattered former boundaries and hierarchies about what music gets criticised.
