Blogs Sometimes Disappoint

Have you ever clicked on an article that has nothing to do with your researched topic? When I look for articles, it can be frustrating when a site doesn't meet precisely what you are looking for. I encountered this exact problem while viewing blogs RollingStone and Loudwire. While both blogs offer music-related content, The RollingStone site offers more than just music.

As you can see in the above image, the RollingStone features music, film, and politics. Music is treated as one of five categories. Although the articles are about music, they are more about artists' public image.

The Loudwire, however, is centered around music, artists, and other music-related content. Articles on Loudwire are all about bands, artists, and memorable moments. On Loudwire, when you click on an article about a band, they sometimes include tour dates, locations, and information on the promoted topic. I appreciate this because it can be a hassle to hound down released tour dates and artist statements without running into popups. On Loudwire, it's straightforward and easy to navigate.

Overall, both sites are blog sites with articles about music, but which one you choose to read is up to personal preference. RollingStone might be the right choice if you're interested in content that spans many media topics. But if you are looking for content all about music and artist coverage that allows exploring new music and album release dates, then the Loudwire is for you.
