Journalism

As a freelance journalist, Berman's work has been seen in (and in some cases, outlived) the arts and features sections of newspapers and in music magazines, including The Village Voice, Rolling Stone, New York Newsday, The New York Times (Long Island), The American Press, The Times Educational Supplement (London), The Nation, City Limits (London), The Boston Phoenix, Sweet Potato (Minneapolis), High Fidelity, Sing Out! and most recently, in The Jambalaya News (Lake Charles, Louisiana), where she writes a bi-weekly column about all things musically eclectic.

Berman wrote the liner notes for the The Young Tradition's live CD, Oberlin 1968, winner of the fRoots Critics Poll of 2013 for Compilations and Reissues of the Year.

Leslie Berman's writing credentials qualify her to vote in various influential polls, including the Grammys, The Village Voice Pazz 'n' Jop, and the Nashville Scene Country Music Critics Poll
