How do images in newspapers shape our understanding of #femicide? Jane Freeland, Alice Baroni & Melissa Jogie compare UK & Italian media to show how visual framing reinforces national narratives of domestic violence and gender inequality. #OnlineFirst

New publication alert🚨

I took some time out of my discipline to reflect on the contemporary relevance of my work. Along with the brilliant Alice Baroni, and Melissa Jogie we wrote about the visualization of femicide in the UK and Italy
