LOW POWER LESSONS Columbia Journalism Review Lucy Schiller October 7, 2025 Against the precipitous backdrop of funding cuts to public media, low-power radio emerges as a lesser-known source of inspiration . . . "Real living, breathing humans are pushing through the cracks of commercial automation with spontaneous ideas and original thought. DJs are playing music because it moves them, not because it fits a mathematical formula. Listeners are discovering these new vibrant stations, where real DJs speak to them in real time, about real things that are going on. They find that no algorithm can simulate the effect of connecting with another human." - XOX > > > > > CLICK HERE to access the article for FREE! < < < < < ********************** 2025 SMITHSONIAN FOLKLIFE FESTIVAL
