Under the aegis of Europe Jazz Media, the group of magazines affiliated with the Europe Jazz Network, the 10 publications are widening the scope of the promotion of the selected musicians. These print and online magazines are the Dutch-speaking Belgians of Jazz’Halo, the French-speaking Belgians of JazzMania, the British of LondonJazz News and the French Citizen Jazz. Reinforced in 2021 by the Norwegian magazine Jazznytt, the team welcomes in 2022 the German magazines Jazzthetik and Jazz-Fun, the British Jazzwise, the Danish Jazz Special and the Turkish Jazz Dergisi.
In addition to the hashtag #IWD, which brings together operations at the global level, the EJP will also use the one initiated by the Europe Jazz Network: #Womentothefore – which specifically concerns the promotion of female jazz musicians in Europe.
