Abstract
Arguably the best media coverage of the student strike in Montreal is coming from an unexpected source -CUTV, or what is now called Community-University TV (formerly Concordia University TV).Live streaming nearly every protest, demonstration and march since the start of the strike, their viewership has grown incrementally to rival that of much larger news organizations, with viewership over 10,000 on peak nights.Mainstream news stations have been lifting CUTV's footage from the internet, interviewing their reporters, and have now started to enter into agreements to obtain footage (Shingler, May 24, 2012).What makes CUTV's coverage so unique?Aside from the remarkability of their new technology and bilingual coverage, there are several important things going on, of which I will discuss just four.The first is that this is a new approach to what Leah Lievrouw (2011) calls "participatory journalism" (119-148), the kind of reporting that is rooted within a social movement, providing an insider view.She suggests that, "Local and marginalized communities can resist cultural domination and homogenization, first, by taking a critical view of corporate media products and messages, and, second, by creating and supporting their own local, 'homegrown' media and content that better represents their interests, viewpoints and cultures than dominant media sources do" (Lievrouw, 2011, p. 146).

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
