Abstract
Newspapers, like all forms of communication, play an unusually important rôle in Canadian society. Correspondingly, newspaper journalism is a respected occupation. This, taken together with the commitment to equal opportunities embodied in the country's Charter of Rights and Freedoms, might suggest that women face fewer barriers to advancement in Canadian newspapers than elsewhere. Drawing on interviews with women working for newspapers in Greater Toronto and in Montréal, and discussions with academic observers, the article suggests that, until the early 1990s, this optimism about an evolutionary movement into positions of real organizational power was reasonably well-founded. It goes on to argue, however, that the rapid change in the commercial environment brought about by the launch of the National Post in 1998 illustrates how quickly attitudinal and cultural change can be stalled, or even reversed, by changes in management priorities triggered by a threat to profits.

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
