I sifted through magazine back issues as well as drawing upon my own background in the field from the mid-1990s forward. Ironically, while this essay was being written at a time where many of my colleagues knew that the internet was changing the infrastructure of the journalism industry, it didn&#8217;t come out until such a time where that industry was collapsing at a perilous rate. It says much that for an essay published in 2007, what I describe feels downright anachronistic just two years later when the landscape has been so brutally transformed.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Trapped In Between The Lines: The Aesthetics of Hip-Hop Journalism.&#8221; Total Chaos: The Art and Aesthetics of Hip-Hop.
