About the magazine

Founded in 1821 as the Manchester Guardian, The Guardian has evolved into a global news organization known for its liberal voice and investigative journalism. Its arts and culture coverage, particularly in music, has been a staple of its editorial identity, offering criticism, features, and news that shape public discourse. The Guardian's music section encompasses classical, pop, rock, jazz, and world music, with a commitment to serious critique and broad cultural coverage.

Submitting your work

Reading periodOpen now

The Guardian's music section does not accept unsolicited submissions for coverage. However, artists and publicists may pitch stories to individual critics or editors via email, but responses are not guaranteed. For news tips, use the appropriate desk contacts. For opinion pieces, submit to the Guardian's opinion editor. Always research the specific writer's interests before pitching. Press releases should be concise and include streaming links, high-res images, and clear contact information. Due to high volume, follow up sparingly.
