Abstract
This qualitative study explores and examines virtual and in-person editing processes used by music magazine editors. The interviewees of this study are full- or part-time music magazine editors, who currently work or have worked for a music magazine that runs print, publishes on an online site, or both, and are particularly editors who work on editorial, features, and editing. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine music magazine editors, who were found by criterion and purposive snowball sampling. The intent of this study is to answer two research questions: (1) how editing processes are different within a virtual or remote environment compared with what happens in-person, and (2) what editors are doing to build skills of and to guide the socialization of young music journalists within a virtual or remote environment through a publication's or editor's editing processes. This study found that as virtual journalism and work has grown immensely, especially following the pandemic, new, young music journalists may face plights entering virtual or digital-only newsrooms.
