Public NME
As more music is given away, music journalism follows suit
ONCE reading about music was as important as listening to it: back in the 1960s, the New Musical Express sold 300,000 copies a week. These days, NME sells around 15,000. From September 18th, in a bid to boost its circulation, the title will be given away free of charge.
