Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article argues that exploitative pay, the whiteness of the journalism labor force, and the intensification of digital journalistic work all demand that sexual violence news coverage be considered in new ways that highlight the changing conditions of work and the growing role of digital technologies. Through an analysis of interviews with Canadian journalists who have investigated sexual violence, I find that the material realities and labor conditions structuring sexual violence news coverage are central to the experiences of journalists doing this work. For new, contract, or freelance journalists—particularly if they are journalists of color—the pressures of the industry are severe and formal institutional support is rare. The interview data I present demonstrates that an overriding sense of scarcity, the complex role of metrics, and the unequal demands of time and pressures to produce shape the fabric of working journalists’ lives and limit journalists’ capacity to report with care.

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.
