Music News (also known as Music-News.com)[1] is a specialist UK music website,[2] that features daily news, reviews, interviews and competitions.[3] It was launched in October 2003; Marco Gandolfi serves as editor.[1]
Stories from Music News have been re-produced by outlets such as The Washington Times,[4] the Los Angeles Daily News,[5] The Telegraph,[2] the Belfast Telegraph,[6] Rolling Stone,[7] the New Musical Express,[8] the Daily Express[9] and Mail Online.[10] The site's interviewees have included Gene Simmons,[8] Adam Ant[9] and Jack White,[11] among others.
In a piece on Music News, New Media Age journalist Michael Nutley wrote that it "reads like a superior fanzine" and "does well" on the news front, albeit with an "idiosyncratic" writing style.[3] Conversely, Andrew Eaton-Lewis in the Scotland on Sunday wrote an article criticising the site after it broke news of a Smiths reformation, which was later denied by band members.[12]
Multiple international editions of Music News are published, and the site has spawned the sister publications, Film News, Theatre News and Game News.[1]
