Adapting news video narration to online services
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<p>This article examines the motivations, advantages, and challenges of implementing a novel narrative strategy for online news video: the Batman Affective Structure (BAS). The BAS prioritizes emotional engagement as a response to the platformization of news and shifting audience behaviors in digital environments. The model was introduced to three Danish public service organizations – DR, TV 2, and TV 2 Fyn – during a workshop to explore its applicability in newsrooms. Follow-up collaboration with these industry partners examined both its benefits and the tensions it creates within journalistic practice. Findings indicate that public service broadcasters have implemented the BAS to enhance audience engagement and strengthen their presence on streaming platforms. However, the transition also uncovered challenges, such as journalistic resistance to narrative standardization, difficulties in applying the BAS across different news genres, and the evolving role of the studio anchor. The study shows both the strategic potential of the BAS for public service news and the complexities of aligning emotional narrative structures with public service values in a rapidly transforming media environment.</p>

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
