Sources and method — 16 active publishers

Live Index links to original reporting and does not republish full articles. Each item shows the publisher and the publication time supplied by that publisher’s feed; the headline opens the original page. The wire has two layers: a primary business wire covering ticketing and fees, promotion, venues, festivals, consolidation and policy, and a smaller curated Underground & experimental lane drawn from selected independent publications, where music editorial is retained even when it is not strictly business reporting. Personal-conduct and non-music items are filtered out of both. Preview images are supplied by the publisher and remain theirs. Published by Live Index, founded by Omar Afra.
