How To Claim Coverage Requests
The Coverage Request system was designed to improve communication, efficiency and the chances that the requesting individual or organization receives All About Jazz coverage.
For those who are contacted directly via email about coverage, nothing will change unless you are looking to review more music.
Initially, I will ask that you bookmark the Coverage Request page here (which is also accessible from your Contributor Start Page). We are considering sending all featured staffers a website message alerting you to new requests.
- You are free to claim any open request.
- You can claim or decline a request that is emailed to you through the system.
- Before claiming or declining a request, visit the Coverage Request page, read about the album, visit the album page, watch a video or listen to the audio player if they exist.
- You are under no obligation to claim any titles and titles that go unclaimed after 30 days will expire.
- Once you submit your review, place the Request Code number in the Request Code box on the article submission form. When you do, AAJ will notify the requester the moment the article is published. We'll also move your claim under the Published tab.
- You are free to post notes about your claim. For instance, projected submission date.
From this point forward, do not forward the email requests you receive to Michael Ricci--rather, point them to this page to post a request. I'm stepping away from coordinating album reviews and this system will replace me.
