Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The paper draws attention to a range of recent data on broadcasting and Internet media use by young Canadians from a range of quantitative and qualitative studies, which try to determine if youth new media use provides a model for how broadcasters – especially the CBC – may meet changing audience expectations. The new “mediascape ” notion of youth interaction with a range of digital and other media is placed within the current policy debates enunciated in the latest Canadian Parliamentary study into CBC and new media, released in early 2008. Politicians suggest that youth models of new media use should shape the direction of public broadcasting, but an examination of the range of news media usage shows that while youth in Canada differ to some degree from the older cohort, their mix and approach to on line-media have some similarities with older groups. 2

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.
