Cultural discourse is most often conducted through journals, newspapers and other trade periodicals. Inadequate compensation for writers and the instability of published outlets for their work create an inhospitable environment for writers and threaten the viability of the profession. Yet thanks at least in part to on-line media, new voices are entering the dialogue on art all the time. With the explosion of exhibitions, festivals, biennials, and experimental collaborations between disciplines around the country and the world, it is an exciting time to be a critic. This panel discussion will give one a peak into the world of mass media and show how artists can participate in the media industry.
