Abstract
This article assesses an overview of the media industries in North America after 20 years of NAFTA, 1994–2014. The study addresses three research questions: (1) How have the communications acts been reformed: according to which logic and with what objectives? (2) How have the communication regulatory bodies performed? (3) To what extent has concentration on the media and telecommunication industries increased? It explores these issues from a structural historical analysis to understand how the media systems in North America have been re-shaping in the three countries (Canada, Mexico, and the United States) during the last 20 years, focusing in three observable paths: Media policy reform and policy-making; the performance and leeway of the regulatory institutions; and the level of concentration in the three countries in media and telecommunications sectors.

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
