Criteria for WQXR Digital First Content 1. Engagement: Does content engage audience to classical music with: a) Listening or watching AND b) joy or discovery? 2. Sharing: Is the content sharable or ‘help you to tell the story of you’? 3. On-ramps: Does the content pair classical music with something outside of classical music to create an on-ramp? Refine Idea Have previous examples attracted an audience? If yes, make it!
