Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract How does mediatised information affect attitudes and engagement in the civic/political spheres? The question is an important one, not only because of changing media forms but also because of the important role of the media in providing political information. As such, its intermediary role in shaping both political interest and political knowledge is heightened, both of which are important determinants of political engagement. This work uses the data from the 2003 General Social Survey to assess and compare variation in the effects of various media forms on civic engagement in Canada in order to provide a means of developing generalizable comparative claims regarding individual media effects. At the end, the author offers an assessment of what these findings suggest about the media's role in shaping engagement in Canada, particularly in the future.

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.
