Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article is a product of the Geography of News Project, whose express purpose is to assess the Internet’s potential to foster an expanded, and more international, news geography. The article begins by discussing the relationship between news and geography, then describes and analyzes the results of a news-flow study of the websites of three international newspapers with extensive online editions: The Times of London, Libération of Paris, and Ha’aretz of Tel Aviv. It argues that while each of these newspapers adopts a distinct online strategy, the geographies they map out remain highly circumscribed, reinforcing significant distinctions in the newsworthiness of various parts of the world and suggesting that our understanding of news value must include the value of audiences for whom news is produced.

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.
