Images do political work. We show how media coverage of Corbyn after the Manchester Arena bombing helped portray foreign policy dissent as a threat to national security, narrowing the boundaries of acceptable debate. #ForeignPolicy #VisualPolitics #PoliticalCommunication ⬇️

Interestingly, despite introducing a new electoral system partly to improve proportionality, the result was only marginally more proportional than in 2021.

We examined how broadcast, online & social media news covered the Senedd election & how balanced the reporting was across the election period - which was particularly interesting in a new multi-party environment.

Australia's Hate Law Is On Trial Right Now And No One's Reporting It #hatespeechbill #freespeech
Australia's hate speech law carries 15 years in jail...and right now it's on trial. I'm unpacking a live High Court challenge you won't see on the news. These laws don't just apply here at home, they apply anywhere in the world if you're an Australian citizen. The government admits it infringes free speech and the freedom of political communication, but argues it's justified because it affects a "small group." Small group = fewer rights? That's the exact test the court is hearing this week. This is the quick explainer, the full breakdown of the implied freedom argument and what this could mean for political communication is coming if you want it. I'm James Glissan, I've been a cop, prosecutor, academic, defence lawyer and now I'm breaking down how power actually works in Australia. Let me know in the comments: should a law that affects a small group get an easier pass? #hatespeechbill #freespeech #australianlaw

In this case, a photograph documenting a civic event has been recontextualised within narratives of cultural “domination” & national identity.

The flag was also flown briefly in 2026 to mark Pakistan’s Independence Day, but the reuse of an older image as though it documented the current moment is important.

It shows how misinformation does not always depend on fabricated content: sometimes an authentic image, stripped of its original context, is enough to help generate new hostility around an already sensitive issue.

A photograph of the Pakistani flag flying over Cardiff Castle has resurfaced on social media - two years later - & contributing to a fresh wave of anger around national identity, immigration & belonging.
