For a long time, music journalism and pop culture called radio their shared home. Music programmes, interviews with artists and a critical analysis of current developments in pop music reached way more than just a niche audience on the radio. Is that still true nowadays? Or has music journalism largely withdrawn from this medium—or has it been reduced to curating playlists? How can pop music journalism in radio keep up with the times? What role does the radio play for today’s music culture?
