Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Background This article draws upon findings from interviews and participant-observation in Nunavut, Canada, to analyze internet’s place within the communication landscape. Analysis The author situates the newer medium of broadband internet within the context of television, radio, the postal service, and satellite dishes in Nunavut. She argues that focusing on these persisting platforms provides insight into how internet and its issues are experienced by Nunavummiut users. Conclusions and implications Contrary to prevalent notions of innovation that privilege newness of form, the usage of persisting media can be dynamic and innovative. The evidence presented builds upon existing research on media usage by Indigenous peoples; it also suggests the potential for Indigenous-media research to reconceptualize innovation, oldness, and newness within the broader field of media and communications.

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.

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.
