Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This commentary suggests that Canadian journalism schools need to redefine their mission from serving the twin masters of the news industry and the university to serving journalism in all its emerging forms. It suggests that this can be done by more closely adhering to the university's demands of research, teaching, and community service, and more specifically, by adopting a more critical and theoretical research-oriented stance. This approach will not only serve students by making them better-educated journalists, but will serve journalism by giving journalism educators a role to play in its current transformation.

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.
