“The real advantage of writing for online is being able to escape from the constraints of the traditional media cycle. You want to write about a group not because they’re going on a tour but just because it would be a great story? Go ahead. Instead of a review, you want to write an essay about three new records that share a similar theme? Fine. A polemic like this? Cool. A photo essay? No problem. Blogs and websites blow apart the tired “300-word review and 800-word story” format that street press critics are locked into.”
