The opportunities of online magazines lie primarily in their high topicality, the combination of text with multimedia offerings and flexible communication options between authors and readers.
The German Music Information Centre (miz) lists a selection of music journalistic magazines that appear exclusively online and are characterised by regular editorial coverage and/or editorial news content; This distinguishes them from concert announcement websites, chart lists or multimedia distribution platforms. Existing editorial structures and their independence from recording producers represent a further selection criterion. Media with a local or regional orientation and offers that do not have a music focus are not listed as well as the music portals of public broadcasters.
