OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

This paper builds on previous evidence that partisan media can significantly sway the opinion of people through leading pictures, despite using non-partisan news texts (Caprini, 2023). This work seeks to augment the existing evidence to encompass and explore the interplay between verbal and nonverbal language in news production. I assess the opportunity for a strategic media player to trade off efficacy and plausible deniability, using words and pictures as complements or substitutes in US press coverage.
