A good day at #CADS2026. Presented my work on Tech CEO discourse on YouTube and received some very helpful questions and feedback. Also great to see my book on display among the conference publications. A nice moment after a long research journey.

Day 2 of #CADS2026 kicked off with a fascinating talk by @matteofuoli.bsky.social on linking CADS with experiments to better understand audience effects. A great start to the day.

Enjoyed the first day of #CADS2026 and it was a pleasure to chair the session on sociopolitical issues in the news. Looking forward to presenting tomorrow!

Happy to see this chapter out! Congrats to @dgalasinski.bsky.social & J. Ziółkowska on this handbook. My chapter, ‘Death in the News: …’ examines how newspapers represent deaths from different risks to life. Delighted to be part of this volume and looking forward to reading the other chapters.

Delighted to be heading to Lancaster in June for #CADS2026, where I’ll be presenting my work on Tech CEO discourse on YouTube over a decade. Really looking forward to being back and to meeting friends and colleagues.

This is my first book, and I’m feeling genuinely happy and grateful. I owe a great deal to many, especially @paulari.bsky.social, @tonymcenery.bsky.social and @journolinguist.bsky.social whose guidance and encouragement shaped this work in important ways.

What happens when you use AI to tag 8546 images in a 1.5m word corpus of UK news about Islam? How accurate is the tagger? What's the relationship between images and words?

Happy to have this in print! Congrats to T. Parnell, T. Van Hout & D. Del Fante for bringing this volume together. My chapter explores how media use discursive strategies to construct risks to life. First Bluesky post—hope I’m doing this right!
