New #research by Dr Iona Fitzpatrick and @xinmeisun.bsky.social explores the language that is used to talk about tobacco use and tobacco users. The research examines the variations in language used by health organisations, the tobacco industry, and in general English. doi.org/10.2196/86593
“The variation of language concerning tobacco products and tobacco use is known to impact the understanding of related risks and influence behaviours including use uptake and product cessation.”

Which newspapers get talked about in UK parliament debates you (didn't) ask? Well, these ones. The Times is consistently top, Financial Times also quite consistently relevant. The Daily Mail decreasingly so. Data from www.clarin.si/ske/#open
Graph showing frequency of mentions of newspapers in UK parliament. The Times is the most frequently mentioned overall. The Daily Mail shows a dip in mentions.

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?

Great to see this get attention. My work showed 'illegal' has been the strongest collocate of 'immigrants' in the Times newspaper since the 1970s Prior to that, the words most associated with 'immigrants' were: 60s: Commonwealth 50s: coloured 40s: illegal 30s: Jewish 20s: British 10s: Canada

In our new paper on the intimidation of unhealthy commodity industry researchers and advocates we categorised the types of intimidation experienced. Understanding the scale and impact of such intimidation helps those affected to pre-empt and respond. Read: doi.org/10.1093/heap...
