Southern
Gospel became popular initially through songbooks.
Southern Gospel is one of the few surviving genres that
was there to exploit recording, radio, and television
technologies from the very beginning and use these
advancements to further promote the genre.
The dominant print magazine for Southern
Gospel since the 1970s has been the Singing
News. Their radio airplay charts and annual Fan Awards
presentations are always popular topics for Southern
Gospel fans to discuss.

The
biggest e-zine for today's Southern Gospel is SoGospelNews.com,
which has been reporting on Southern Gospel for over
12 years. The site contains the most recognized weekly
Southern Gospel chart as well as the internet's
largest Southern Gospel community with forums and a
chat room. Their Annual SGN Music Awards recognize
accomplishments made within the industry over the past
year.
The modern Southern Gospel fan may
still subscribe to a magazine, but most keep up with
their favorite artists via a Southern Gospel news site
on the internet, such as Who's Who in Gospel Music
which provides concert listings, gospel news, venue
information and a comprehensive listing of gospel
artists performing in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and
Louisiana.
