CCM MAGAZINE COVERAGE EMBRACES MAINSTREAM AND INDIE ARTISTS OF FAITH: Special Digital Version of May Issue Available Free to All Fans.
CCM Magazine, Christian music's preeminent publication, is changing its definition of Christian music with its May 2007 issue to raise the profile of independent and general market artists of faith.
"This month marks a historic step for our magazine, and, as a result, the fans and the industry we serve," said CCM Editor Jay Swartzendruber. "We're going to start mixing indie and general market Christians such as The Fray, Mary J. Blige and Sufjan Stevens in with artists with traditional Christian label affiliation. Rather than define 'Christian music' just by its label or distribution, we're now defining it as Christian worldview music. CCM Magazine has always taken its role as a leader seriously, and we believe this is the way of the future."
During the month of May, fans are invited to access a complimentary digital version of the new CCM by going to www.CCMmagazine.com/promo. Monthly subscriptions to CCM are available at www.CCMmagazine.com ($21.95) and include two free compilation CDs for new and renewing subscribers featuring music from artists such as Anberlin, Aaron Shust, The Almost and Building 429, among others.
