No two names have dominated headlines in 2024 quite like TikTok and Taylor Swift. As the bill that would ban the app passes the Senate amid Taylor's new album drop, listen to @RuncieDan and I's latest:

Did you see the Reddit IPO story and also go "...??! –_^" Here's that, but the long form explanation for @midiaresearch midiaresearch.com/blog/reddits-i…
Love this piece debunking some of the common, misguided knee-jerk reactions to AI and music (and not only bc @themoko was kind enough to cite MIDiA data). "What fans really want is not to replace Taylor Swift, it’s to engage, recreate, duet, and build on top of Taylor’s music"

Over the past few years, music catalogue acquisitions have dominated headlines. So at Primavera Pro this year, we're not just going to talk about why companies are investing in music catalogues. That's already been done. @tatianacirisano @midiaresearch
Same trend holds with racial discrimination. Again, gross. Especially since the people who occupy most of the top positions of power (and thus have the most power to act to change it) seem to be the ones who don't think that racial discrimination exists.

THIS! Tho I'd say "unaware" is v. charitable. Powerful people don't see these forms of discrimination because acknowleding it threatens their power.

MIDiA is proud to have delivered the fourth annual Be The Change report for Tunecore. Authored by the super talented MIDiA analysts @tatianacirisano and @KahlertHanna this report is a must read midiaresearch.com/blog/music-has… @midiaresearch
With @tatianacirisano and @perurban we'll discuss what @pophouse and other companies are doing to enhance the value of a music catalogue, what that process looks like, what the challenges are... Be part of this global conversation, get your accreditation! primaverasound.com/primavera-pro
Over the past few years, music catalogue acquisitions have dominated headlines. So at Primavera Pro this year, we're not just going to talk about why companies are investing in music catalogues. That's already been done. @tatianacirisano @midiaresearch
I don't think people realise how much things are changing in the music distribution world. We see a few stories on social media every week or so where an artist complains that their content has been taken down or whatever, but that is really the tip of the iceberg. It seems to…
Quick thread: 🧵There are a lot of different ideas about what needs to be done to fix streaming. That makes sense, since there are varying ideas of what precisely is wrong with the dominant model of interactive streaming music delivery.
I didn't think it was this bad. I guess that's why we don't see more men with inclusion riders...
Now for those BE THE CHANGE findings. Today I want to talk about what we call the “perception gap” 🧵 When we asked women, men, and gender expansive* individuals if the think the music industry discriminates based on gender, here’s how they answer:
The truth shall set you free or at least make you aware of where we’re failing miserably. This is why representation in all forms for minority groups, especially women and women of color matters. If you don’t feel it, you don’t change it! Fabulous work @tatianacirisano!
Now for those BE THE CHANGE findings. Today I want to talk about what we call the “perception gap” 🧵 When we asked women, men, and gender expansive* individuals if the think the music industry discriminates based on gender, here’s how they answer:
This is totally insane to me (& also gross). Only 16% of men (working in the industry) surveyed by MIDiA think that the music industry discriminates based on gender. How embarrassing to not be able to see something so obvious and also not want to act to make things better.
Now for those BE THE CHANGE findings. Today I want to talk about what we call the “perception gap” 🧵 When we asked women, men, and gender expansive* individuals if the think the music industry discriminates based on gender, here’s how they answer:
@tatianacirisano I admire your restraint here to call it "unaware"! I might go with something like "self-interestedly ignorant". Y'all are doing the lord's work drawing attention to this🙏♥️
Same trend holds with racial discrimination. Again, gross. Especially since the people who occupy most of the top positions of power (and thus have the most power to act to change it) seem to be the ones who don't think that racial discrimination exists.
This gap isn’t just about gender. 25% of all respondents said the industry discriminates based on race — but this rose to 54% for respondents of color, and even further, to 66% (!) for women of color. Let that sink in
THIS! Tho I'd say "unaware" is v. charitable. Powerful people don't see these forms of discrimination because acknowleding it threatens their power.
Positions of power in music are dominated by white men — who, based on our data, are often unaware of discrimination. This makes two things abundantly clear: 1. It's CRUCIAL for men to do the work to recognize and fight it. 2. It's CRUCIAL to have diversity in positions of power.
Shouts to Tatiana and the MIDiA team for making this very important research happen 🙏 Urging everyone to go read it and for (especially) white men (like myself!) to do all they can to make the music industry better for everyone.
