Good morning: Here are today’s highlights:

  1. An All-AI Bot Radio Station Hits The Airwaves “Weeks after letting its journalists go, OFF Radio Krakow relaunched this week, with what it said was ‘the first experiment in Poland in which journalists are virtual characters created by AI.’ The station aims to reach younger listeners by discussing cultural, art, and social issues.” – AP News
  2.

  4. Study: How Arts Agencies Helped Local Arts Communities Through The Pandemic “Arts agencies played a crucial role during the pandemic, providing support and advocacy within local government funding discussions, helping sustain the cultural sector during unprecedented times.” – Cultural Data Project
  5. Is Cultural Tourism Growing Up? “Cultural tourism is evolving from a perceived low-quality, commercialized experience to a specialist industry led by arts professionals, providing authentic and enriching cultural exchanges.” – ArtsHub
