Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article examines three radio broadcasts from the royal tour of 1939, namely those covering the departure of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth from Niagara Falls, Ontario, on their way to visit the United States on June 7, 1939. The analysis contributes to the debate about the function of “media events” sparked by Daniel Dayan and Elihu Katz’s eponymous 1992 book. While Dayan and Katz argue that historic national televised ceremonies enhance community loyalty and integration, their critics suggest that they place too little emphasis on issues of hierarchy and power, especially the power of the media themselves. This study concludes that by their effective use of radio to exploit the symbolism of monarchical ceremony, natural spectacle, and international portals, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s announcers helped to legitimize and augment the authority of the fledgling Canadian public broadcaster.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
