Inside the Minds of Journalists
Believe it or not, reporters would probably find it as scary to be in your mind as you would to be in theirs. The catch is that they’re paid to be in yours and will do their best to get there.
Reporters may, in fact, come into interviews with a bias — personal, based on their own experiences and belief system, or employer-based, reflecting their media outlet’s political leanings, attitude towards certain types of organizations, etc.. However, with rare exception, they are not usually out to “get you.” They’re merely doing their job and trying to receive as much recognition for it as possible. Just like you, right?

Reputation describes how those around us judge us. They judge our character, the way we dress, and they way we perform. We can’t always control how others judge us, or how they will speak of us to others. In your personal life or in business, what others say about us can put us in a better position, such as a promotion at work, or it can hurt us, such as losing our job. As a musician or band, you may have control over some factors that affect your reputation, like the way you treat your fans, or the way you conduct business, but you don’t have control over everything. Much of your reputation will hinge on how others see you. Word of mouth is what you depend on to promote your band and gain you more exposure, but word of mouth can work in your favor, or it can work against you. A music critic, or music journalist, makes a career out of judging musicians and bands, and letting fans and the public in general know how a band rates in the music industry.
