Zone Music Reporter (formerly New Age Reporter) is a website tracking New Age, world, and instrumental music. The site features weekly playlist, monthly airplay charts, and album reviews. Premium services are also offered to artists and their management compiling custom airplay reports for that artist. Around 2023, the site began to experience technical problems, although its managers have vowed to reconstitute and perpetuate the database.
