coming from someone who's been interviewed in this column - i'd say it's probably safe to assume that if you're familiar with every person featured, you're not getting a widespread sample of who's out there.
regardless - it's up to the writer to decide what his scope is. should he interview wedding DJs ? or radio DJs ? or people who play country music ? really, who's to say ?
but a different question - should DJs who play music that they didn't pay for, be held in the same regard as those who pay for their music ? should the media turn a blind eye to this ? it's understood that venues and promoters aren't addressing this (i.e. sure you can play, but you can't be paid for playing stolen music).
this is no doubt more of a cover story than an afterthought for this column. but it's what came to mind when i read the comments above.
