This week I wanted to start off with an industry resource that could help any type of artist. This site is called MediaPost. There are multiple sections of this site, the greatest part about it is the directories section. In the directories you have access to the contact information of over 150,000 media contacts.
Let me break it down a bit. Say you wanted to look up radio stations. You can stick to just local ones in your area, or you can search nationally. Also, you can narrow it down to the specific format (genre) of the radio station. In the search results, you will find all of the contacts within their network, along with ways to contact them. You can do the same search with newspapers, magazines, television stations, websites, and much more.
There is a lot more to MediaPost other than the directories, such as classifieds, research info, publications, and even a community section where you can create a profile, but I feel the directories are essential for new artists looking to get their name out there. So check it out now!
