Field notes
The protocol gives each video the same eight-second viewing window and records whether it is political, along with its apparent position on a left-right scale. The project says daily readings are provisional while the manual is being refined; weekly blind classification in two passes is intended to replace them. Its stated pilot schedule is 25 minutes per network each weekday at 20:00.
