Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Transparency and accountability are key elements of media policy in Cana- da. A long tradition of public consultation is embedded in the various pro- cesses that have shaped Canadian media, especially broadcasting. Public consultation is complemented, however, by other aspects of the policy pro- cess: federal-provincial negotiations, Supreme Court rulings, and direct lobbying of policy-makers by industry and civil society organizations. This article reviews some of the highlights of the process, with special emphasis on a landmark study of Canadian broadcasting by the parliamentary Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage, which reported in 2003. This study and the government's subsequent response underlines the importance of transparency and accountability for actors who are otherwise once re- moved from the centres of decision-making: artists, creators, journalists and ordinary citizens.

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.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
