-----------September 30, 2004Internet Influence on Southern GospelDo leaders in the Southern Gospel industry give serious consideration to the opinions posted on message boards, Usenet, and now blogs? Even this blog in particular? I know for a fact that artists/promoters/record company execs, etc. read internet comments and have reactions to them. Sure, some of them likely consider many opinions to be nit-picky or invasions of personal privacy (and they're right to do so in many cases). However, I believe those of us who love Southern Gospel and post consistent, well reasoned opinions out of a genuine desire to see the industry improve are read with at least some degree of respect. There's always going to be the blathering idiot whose comments are best left ignored, but a fan voicing opinions on how a major event like the National Quartet Convention could be improved should be considered seriously . . . especially when there's a groundswell of agreement with that fan by other fans. Some of the SG "powers that be" are just now realizing what a great source for making a business plan feedback like this can be. Some resent having feedback forced on them, sure, and who can blame them when it turns personal? But there's nothing to be gained from hating the internet as a whole. Rather, it's a great way to plan for the future, because you always know what your fans are thinking and expecting. Opinions communicated via the internet are an aspect of the business that's here to stay. Artists/promoters/publishers/etc. who embrace it as a business plan tool will be more likely to succeed while those who remain aloof to it will fail to take advantage of a very valuable resource. Does the internet influence the Southern Gospel industry as a whole? It should.
