Abstract
This instrumental case study employed several methodologies to determine the following: between 1994 and 2004, 64.7% of Canadian national television news reports featured evangelicals from Canada, 32.7% featured evangelicals from the United States, and just 2.5% (or three news reports) featured evangelicals whose country of origin was outside North American. Combined, the reports left a small pool of nonevangelical coders feeling “cool” or “guarded” toward members of this faith group. When separated by country of origin, reports featuring Canadian evangelicals alone left coders feeling neutral, while reports featuring American evangelicals alone left coders feeling slightly negatively toward this faith group. A two-sample t-test determined that the difference between the coders' ratings of Canadian and American evangelicals' stories was significant. Other research has determined Canadian evangelicals are more tolerant than American; tangible manifestations of Canadian evangelicals more tolerant nature was found in the coverage.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
