THE INTERRELATION BETWEEN JOURNALISM AND MUSICAL CRITICISM

Musical criticism and journalism are two closely interconnected socio-cultural phenomena. Both fields aim to illuminate, analyze, and communicate artistic and social processes to the public. Journalism serves as a professional activity for disseminating information, conducting analysis, and shaping public opinion, whereas musical criticism evaluates, interprets, and reveals the aesthetic and ideological essence of music. Therefore, musical criticism has developed as a specialized branch of journalistic practice.
