I am sure we all heard the term “It rocks” or been told “you rock” when u outshine on something; but rock journalism? sure you are confused as I was when I first came across this term. It might seem confusing but if one looks at it from a different angle you realize is something that makes sense.
Rock journalism is define in the book Real Frank Zappa as people who can't write, doing interviews with people who can't think, in order to prepare articles for people who can't read." I disagree with this definition; rock journalism refers to the rock profession, music and interesting facts on the rock industry which ordinary people don’t know off. Rock journalists should be people who understand rock music, the culture behind the music, rock stars, followers and the industry.
Journalists most acknowledge that rock music followers understand their industry; articles, interviews and material that are inaccurately get noticed. Most fields possess knowledgeable teams with insight understanding of their industry, capable to compile materials for their public's.
Rock music industry shouldn’t be treated less. Journalists with no insight on the rock industry, life styles, etc… shouldn’t be called rock journalists.
