For years, I have worked in television, radio, and the music industry, honing my ability to craft and deliver compelling stories. Alongside talented professionals, I have written and distributed press releases that effectively engage media outlets. So when I recently submitted a fact-based press release about TuneCore’s ongoing failures, EIN Presswire’s outright rejection—without the option to revise—signaled something much more concerning: a deliberate suppression of independent artists speaking out against industry injustices.
My experience spans decades in the entertainment industry. I have worked in television and radio, not only as a host but also as a producer and writer. Through these roles, I have developed a deep understanding of media narratives, audience engagement, and the power of storytelling.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of interviewing A-list celebrities, legendary musicians, and industry insiders who have shared firsthand accounts of the struggles within the business. This has given me a unique perspective on how artists are often mistreated and silenced when they challenge the status quo. My background allows me to recognize patterns of suppression, which is why I immediately saw EIN Presswire’s actions for what they were—an attempt to protect corporate interests over independent voices.
1. TuneCore’s Long-Standing Distribution Failures
TuneCore has built a reputation for inefficiency, with independent artists regularly experiencing delayed releases and poor customer service. I personally encountered these obstacles, which affected my marketing timelines and overall revenue. Despite following all required procedures, my concerns were met with silence, forcing me to escalate the issue repeatedly—only to receive noncommittal responses.
2. EIN Presswire’s Selective Censorship
After detailing TuneCore’s failures in a press release, EIN Presswire rejected my submission, citing “editorial guidelines” that supposedly prohibit “biased language.” Yet, my press release contained verifiable facts. The refusal to even allow revisions is an alarming sign that EIN Presswire may be shielding companies like TuneCore from public scrutiny.
3. The Absence of Transparency
What makes this situation more egregious is the lack of accountability from both companies. EIN Presswire failed to provide a signed response from a specific representative, hiding behind vague “client services” messaging. Similarly, TuneCore’s evasiveness when confronted with legitimate artist concerns demonstrates a disregard for those who depend on their platform.
4. The Dangerous Precedent of Silencing Independent Artists
By blocking factual press releases, EIN Presswire is reinforcing industry gatekeeping, where large corporations avoid scrutiny while independent artists struggle to have their voices heard. This is not an isolated incident—it reflects a broader issue where platforms that should serve artists instead protect corporate interests.
5. Taking Action: Exposing and Escalating the Issue
I will not allow these companies to suppress my voice. I will be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, ensuring that this issue reaches wider media channels, and continuing to expose how TuneCore and EIN Presswire are failing independent artists. Transparency and fairness should be industry standards, not privileges reserved for major players.
