______________________________
Launched by the League of American Orchestras in January 2009, The Hub provides a wide-ranging, constantly updated overview of breaking news and information about the orchestra field. The Hub contains everything you need to know about important media coverage of orchestras and the cultural scene (Media View), what is happening in our field (Industry Buzz), new appointments (Who’s In), and the essential programs and services the League provides (Help Yourself).
The Hub’s home page and Help Yourself section are available free of charge to all, but only League members may access the site’s in-depth pages with complete stories.
For help or questions about The Hub, please email thehub@americanorchestras.org or call 212 262 5161.

ABOUT INDUSTRY BUZZ
Industry Buzz, edited by Jennifer Melick, draws primarily from press releases submitted by League members. Industry Buzz announces important news, unusual concert programs, awards, and other information you need to stay on top of what’s happening in our industry.
Submission guidelines: Industry Buzz covers all types of notable orchestral activity, including major grants, education programs, repertoire ideas, or recording projects. Stories of national or compelling interest are given priority.
To be considered for Industry Buzz, please send press releases and photographs (with appropriate captions and credits) to orchnews@americanorchestras.org or jmelick@americanorchestras.org
Bear in mind that hundreds of press releases from member orchestras and publicists come our way each week. Since our editorial staff pools all press releases, a single release to Symphony or orchnews@americanorchestras.org is sufficient.

ABOUT MEDIA VIEW
Media View emphasizes news and features and occasionally includes reviews, opinion pieces, and obituaries of note. Because reviews are numerous and highly specific to their local market, they are normally included only if they involve a debut, commission/premiere, or programming focus of compelling interest.
Media View is meant to accurately reflect what is being said in the media about orchestras and the issues surrounding them. Stories of national and compelling interest are given priority, and the need for brevity, balanced against the news “load” on a given day, has a role in determining what is covered.
Views and opinions referenced are those of the reporters and critics cited, and are not to be taken as the views of the League. The League takes no responsibility for the opinions, views, or reporting of writers whose articles are digested in Media View.
Submission guidelines:
If you have an article you would like to see considered for Media View, please paste the text of the article into the body of an email with a link to its online source and send it to: orchnews@americanorchestras.org and editor@americanorchestras.org. Send the article on the day it is published if at all possible; to keep The Hub timely, we generally refrain from featuring articles that are more than three days old.

ABOUT WHO’S IN
Who’s In, edited by Robert Sandla, announces artistic and administrative appointments, key changes in board leadership, and notable retirements at orchestras and related organizations.
Submission guidelines:
To be considered for Who’s In, please send personnel-related press releases and photographs (with appropriate captions and credits) to: orchnews@americanorchestras.org or bsandla@americanorchestras.org.
