Many criticize music journalists for not paying enough attention to how the business side of music is really put together or how it works. This is part of the atmosphere the musicians who make the music must move through. They're forced to understand the business in order to succeed financially (i.e., make a living) and so are obliged to become bean counters themselves. For the music journo, to impart such a story means investigative work and specialized writing. This is a fairly good example of what seems to be happening economically today. The dog eat dog music industry is reduced to snatching at scraps.
