"Product placement" implies that someone behind the scenes is paying them to blog about the music they select, which isn't necessarily the case. There are probably more nuanced ways you could talk about commercial influence on music blogs without jumping to conclusions.<br /><br />The next step from here might be to look at blogs that engage in a more in-depth, critical discussion of the music they post about (as opposed to a focus on positive, fan-friendly content).rachel smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052008177568821932noreply@blogger.com
