Help Monitor Press Coverage

Post by Leonard Vertighel »

As the IMSLP is getting more well-known, it is getting some press coverage. Unfortunately, some of it is quite off the mark. It would therefore be good to monitor the coverage, so that we can try to issue corrections in case of factual mistakes, in order to prevent misinformation from being spread.

If you would like to help, one possibility is to go to the Google homepage in your language, and see if there is a "Google News" version for your language (look at the links in the top left corner). There, you can search for example for "imslp". On the left, you should then see a link "News Alerts". You can use this function to automatically get an email each time Google finds a new news item about IMSLP. You can do the same for "International Music Score Library Project" and "Petrucci Music Library".

If you find an article which mentions us (by the above method or any other means), please add it to the press coverage page. If you find factual inaccuracies, we should try to contact the news source and have them issue a correction.

I used to check all the time, especially when IMSLP was down.

Will do though! I'm doing a comprehensive check though, not just news.
