Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article highlights the critical role played by the body in audio journalistic epistemology. It focuses on the journalist's “audio body” and its deployment in the creation of documentary podcasts. Highly tuned to both the audible and the inaudible, this is a body at once central to the journalist's investigatory toolkit, at once responsible for the creation of powerful audio journalism that brings listeners into an intimate space with the subject at hand. Foregrounding the role of the body in the processes of audio journalism also highlights the importance of affect and time in journalistic sound-based montages. By way of illustration, three immersive sound pieces that document news production in a variety of media outlets are discussed. So too are the ways that the documentarist and author of this article was required to mobilize and subsequently reflect upon her own “audio body.”

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.
