Good Morning:

-

This summer has been something of an inflection point for culture. Hollywood strikes, regional theatres in crisis, faltering of the streaming and podcasting models… On ArtsJournal you read the drip drip drip of stories that are defining these trends. In the coming weeks, we’ll be introducing some features to connect the dots. In the meantime, to keep up with what’s happening in real time, follow us at @ArtsJournalNews. On my own feed @AJDoug, I comment on those trends in a little more detail.

Enjoy the rest of the summer!

Douglas McLennan, Editor
