Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Mobile news apps have become increasingly popular all around the world due to the proliferation of mobile communication technologies. Many news apps are transnational in nature, and their users practice what Richard Falk calls ‘globalization from below’ (2014) with their use of transnational ethnic media outlets. By exploring some publicly available data on the top mobile news apps in five countries, I argue in this paper that these apps offer important theoretical insight into the nature of global ethnoscapes as they show audience’s news preferences in relation to language use, nationality, and news organisations, which assist in making their users reterritorialized ‘transnations’. The theoretical implications are discussed regarding the cultural practices of transmigrants, whether be first or subsequent generation immigrants.

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.
