Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

One of the most interesting aspects of early Prince George history is the ongoing feud between the city\u2019s first two newspapers. On the surface this feud seems to exist only because of the confrontational and opinionated people who edited these newspapers. On deeper inspection it becomes clear that both of Prince George\u2019s founding newspapers argued as surrogates for the local interest groups they represented. They both articulated positions that would benefit their particular interest group, and their reporting and writing was designed to support this end. Despite this, historians of Prince George have done little to explain this ongoing battle, particularly how it was fought through local newspapers. This thesis aims to show that in its early days Prince George was not a unified community, but was instead a competing group of small communities, fighting bitterly among themselves for dominance. Furthermore, this fight was conducted through the local newspapers primarily over the issues of the location of the station and the incorporation and the promotion of Prince George.

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.
