Abstract
Fairy tales and news stories are not often linked; however, in many news stories, Canadian media depicted Karla Homolka as both passive princess and evil witch. This paper argues journalists used aspects of popularized fairy tales to shape and give meaning to Homolka's life, personality and crimes, and these constructs created a discourse that limited, liberated and ultimately problematised the public's conception of Homolka. Résumé Les contes de fées et les nouvelles histoires ne sont pas souvent reliés, cependant, les media canadiens ont peint Karla Homolka comme étant à la fois une princesse passive et une mauvaise sorcière. Cet article discute de la façon dont les journalistes se sont servis des aspects des contes de fées popularisés pour façonner et donner une signification à la vie, à la personnalité et aux crimes d'Homolka, et ces constructions mentales ont crée une dissertation qui limita, libéra, et ultimement problématisa la conception que le public a d'Homolka.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
