Welsh broadcasters target voters with digital election coverage

Published

Welsh broadcasters target voters with digital election coverage

Voters in Wales will soon go to the polls to elect members of an expanded Senedd (Welsh parliament) under a new proportional voting system. As the campaign has developed, public service broadcasters have sought not only to report events but to educate, inform and engage audiences with an unfamiliar electoral process.

Our analysis suggests they are increasingly doing so through digital platforms. We analysed all election news content produced online and on social media by major broadcasters between April 8 and April 24, including BBC Wales, ITV Wales, S4C, Channel 4 and Sky News.

The findings point to a move towards formats designed for audiences who are more likely to encounter news online than through traditional television.

This matters because people increasingly come across political content passively, through algorithmically curated feeds rather than actively seeking it out. In that environment, the type of content produced – and how it’s presented – can play a decisive role in shaping public understanding of the election.

One prominent feature of digital coverage has been the use of explainers. These aim to demystify the election by breaking down how the Senedd works, how the voting system has changed and which policy areas are devolved to Wales or reserved to Westminster.

Many of these explainers adopt a more informal and accessible tone than their broadcast equivalents. They’re designed to cut through in fast-moving social media feeds where political information competes for attention.

A significant proportion focus on policy. Of the 19 explainers identified in our analysis, seven centred on specific issues, most commonly immigration. This reflects persistent public confusion about where responsibility lies.

Our recent survey found that nearly a third of people in Wales did not know immigration is controlled by the UK government. Against that backdrop, broadcasters have often made this distinction explicit. In 82% of online and social media items mentioning immigration, journalists clearly stated that responsibility lies with Westminster.

Broadcasters have also used explainers to clarify changes to the electoral system. This includes the move to a closed-list proportional system. Public awareness of this change remains low, however. Only 7% of respondents in our survey correctly identified the system, while 58% said they did not know.

Meet the leaders

Alongside explainers, broadcasters have used digital formats to introduce audiences to the leaders of Wales’s six main political parties. This has reinforced the campaign’s increasingly presidential tone, with party leaders dominating media appearances.

In a devolved context, this is not always straightforward, given the presence of both UK-wide and Welsh political figures. But digital formats have provided new ways to foreground Welsh leaders.

Short, one-to-one interviews have become an important feature. Formats such as the BBC’s Quickfire Questions and ITV’s Chippy Chats mix light-touch prompts – like “What song have you got on repeat?” – with more substantive questions about policy priorities.

These formats inject personality into political coverage. Leaders are presented not only as decision-makers but as people with interests and personalities. This is particularly significant given relatively low public awareness of Welsh political figures.

Our recent survey found that fewer than half of respondents could identify the leader of Plaid Cymru, Rhun ap Iorwerth, despite the fact he could become the next first minister.

At the same time, the informal tone has not entirely displaced scrutiny. In ITV’s Chippy Chats for example, the Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Jane Dodds was challenged on her voting record in the Senedd. It’s a reminder that accountability can still be built into more conversational formats.

Informing voters in a digital campaign

Taken together, these approaches suggest broadcasters are using digital platforms in distinct and complementary ways. Explainers aim to address gaps in public knowledge. One-to-one interviews make political leaders more visible and relatable.

This reflects a broader transformation in how election coverage is produced and consumed. As more people encounter political information online, public service broadcasters play an increasingly important role in countering misinformation and improving understanding of politics and public affairs.

The challenge is now to strike the right balance. Broadcasters must produce content that engages audiences. But they shouldn’t lose sight of the need to inform them and to scrutinise the claims made by political parties.

Plan for new car sales site off Nelson Street, Great Lever

Plan for new car sales site off Nelson Street, Great Lever

If approved, the plans will aim to create a car sales area with a new portable cabin and boundary fence on land just north of St Bartholomew Street, off Nelson Street in Great Lever.

This will include a space to display vehicles up for sale.

A statement from Bolton Council’s highways department said: “According to the submitted information, the land in question will be accessed from the existing access point onto Nelson Street that serves the established industrial site at that location.

“The red edge of the application would need to cover up to the access onto Nelson Street so that the use can benefit legitimately from an access to the public highway.

The plans have been put before Bolton Council (Image: QAM Architecture)

“Service vehicle access at this location is established and the level of additional traffic from the proposed use will be marginal and should be accommodated with minimal detriment/severity to road safety, amenity, and the operational capacity of the surrounding highways.

“The internal layout of the site appears workable from an accessibility/manoeuvrability and servicing perspective.

“On this basis, no reasonable objections on highway grounds to what is being proposed under this application.”

The plans were received by the council on Monday, April 20, this year and validated on Wednesday, April 29.

A noise impact assessment by QAM Architecture said: “Local authority guidance notes that baseline noise should be measured or reasonably estimated to understand existing exposure levels and contextualise new noise sources.

“Given the low-intensity nature of the proposed use, baseline levels are expected to be moderate, dominated by existing commercial activity.”

It added: “The proposed car-sales use will generate minimal noise, significantly below levels associated with industrial or mechanical uses.

“The development is fully acceptable in noise terms and complies with local and national planning guidance.

“There are no noise-related reasons to refuse the application.”

The statement said that noise levels for car sales businesses would tend to be lower than garages, MOT centres or other similar businesses.

Bolton Council will aim to decide whether to approve the plan by Wednesday, June 24, this year.

I ditched UK for Australia for enticing ‘quality of life’ – here’s 5 things nobody tells you

Published

on

Daily Mirror

A British expat made a huge life decision and uprooted her life from the UK for a fresh start in Australia, yet there were a few things that caught her by suprise

After making a mammoth move to Australia, a British expat has revealed the five things that no one tells you.

Advertisement

Cat Scully, 31, was searching for a better work-life balance and outdoor lifestyle, so she made the brave decision to uproot her life from Newcastle and move to Australia in 2021. After initially exploring Western Australia, Cat settled on Perth, thanks to its slower pace and diverse landscapes of white-sand beaches, rolling hills, and urban city life.

It’s been five years since the mega move, and Cat has settled into her new life and is even an official Australian after her citizenship was approved. She’s settled down with her husband, and the pair spend evenings at the beach and weekends exploring the surrounding areas.

Yet moving to the other side of the world and uphauling her lifestyle hasn’t always been easy, with the project manager revealing what caught her off guard after taking the leap across the globe. Speaking to 1st Move International, the removals specialists to Australia, Cat said that anyone who makes the move will become a morning person, something she has adapted to.

“Most of my social plans are now built around early mornings, meeting for a walk, a beach dip or breakfast at 7:30 or 8 am. Everyone’s keen to get out and start their day early, generally before it gets too hot,” she said.

And when it comes to coffee for those early starts, there’s an extensive collection to choose from, which naturally turns expats into a renowned coffee snob without realising. “Even your standard coffee shop does an amazing coffee, and for a fraction of what you’d pay in the UK. You very quickly stop settling for anything less,” Cat revealed.

Thanks to Australia’s warm climate, there’s an abundance of avocados available, something Cat applauds as part of her new Australian life. “Avocados are everywhere here! It’s often 2 for $5 (£2.65) and they’re huge and really good quality. Even other groceries feel different; some things are more expensive, but avocados are definitely cheaper than in the UK and feature on loads of breakfast menus,” the 31-year-old said.

While the UK is dreary and dark during the winter months, Cat said that those who make the move will make the most of evenings and weekends. She said: “After work, it’s so normal to head straight to the beach for sunset, go for an alfresco dinner, run along the river, or even just jump in the car on a Friday and head into the bush for a weekend trip. You really make the most of your time in a different way.”

And it appears Cat has already forgotten what life was like back in the UK. “I can barely remember what it was like when it got dark at 4 pm in winter, or that really fast-paced UK lifestyle. Life just feels more outdoors, more stretched out, and a lot more balanced here,” she revealed.

Since making the move, Cat documents her life in Australia on her YouTube channel, sharing the realities of living on the other side of the world, alongside weekend adventures to places like Fremantle and Melbourne.

Trump says 'Project Freedom' to be paused 'for a short period of time'

Project Freedom was meant to help restore the flow of oil from the region and the global economy’s eventual return to normalcy by guiding stranded ships out of the Gulf through the largely closed waterway. But if during the “pause”, global shipping firms and the insurance companies working with them are stymied by Iranian interference, it will be difficult for Trump to claim that objective has been achieved.

Nicotine pouch craze causing carnage in Scots classrooms and endangering kids

Published

on

Daily Record

The major impact of tobacco-free products on attendance, behaviour and teacher workloads has been laid bare in a shocking new study.

Trendy nicotine pouches and vapes are putting Scots kids’ educations at risk and disrupting classroom, researchers say.

The major impact of tobacco-free products on attendance, behaviour and teacher workloads has been laid bare in a shocking new study – with pupils admitting dodging lessons to vape or use nicotine pouches – sometimes referred to as ‘Snus’ – while staff say youngsters are showing signs of addiction.

Teachers revealed they are now patrolling school grounds and toilets and engaging with local shops in a bid to try and get on top of the issue, according to a new paper by the University of Stirling and the Scottish Centre for Social Research.

The New Nicotine Products (NNPs) in Scotland study saw 77 pupils aged 14 to 16 interviewed and 13 members of school staff across four secondary schools in Scotland’s central belt.

Principal Investigator Dr Allison Ford, Associate Professor at the Stirling uni’s Institute for Social Marketing and Health, said: “Pupils reported widespread use of NNPs, such as vapes and nicotine pouches, and missed classes and played truant because they were using these products in a variety of places, including school toilets, and outside school grounds.

“A few pupils felt they were addicted to nicotine and reported adverse health effects.

“School staff adopted a range of approaches to address the issue, including regular patrols and sweeps of school areas, monitoring toilet facilities, and visiting neighbourhood shops to encourage more robust retail practices. They are also confiscating vapes and issuing exclusions or detentions for their use.

“However, staff said they have limited knowledge of vapes and nicotine pouches and felt less confident addressing the risks, compared with tobacco-related teaching. They called for more resources to support teaching about the risks of nicotine use among young people.”

The Record led a successful campaign to ban single-use e-cigarettes after an estimated 26million were thrown away in Scotland in 2023.

But teachers have told researchers that the battle against the tobacco-free products craze is bigger than ever.

Nicotine pouches have soared in popularity amongst young people in Scotland in recent years.

They first went on sale in the UK in 2019 and are often sold in bright packaging with appealing flavours to make them more attractive to young users.

The small, teabag-like sachets, that fit under the top lip, are filled with a fibrous white powder infused with nicotine.

Sports stars like ex-Celtic boss Neil Lennon and ex-England forward Jamie Vardy have been known to use pouches, along with former boxer Mike Tyson and late superstar DJ Avicii.

While they are less harmful than smoking, the pouches are highly addictive and not recommended for teenagers or non-smokers. Research has found they can cause a variety of side effects including oral health issues and gastrointestinal problems, with some suffering from gum irritation and recession, increased heart rate, blood pressure and a greater risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Despite the risks, they are largely unregulated and recent studies show young people in Scotland have reported experiencing sickness and fainting while experimenting with them.

While sometimes referred to as ‘snus’, that tobacco product has been banned in the UK since 1992.

Most pouches contain between six and 20 milligrams (mg) of nicotine while some products contain 50mg – that is about five times stronger than an average cigarette.

In 2024, the two most popular nicotine pouches brands, Velo and Nordic Spirit, grew by 96% and 75%. Another popular brand, Zyn, grew by 161% in 2024.

Coupled with the continuing use of vapes among young people, the products are now said to be impacting on learning.

One teacher told the study: “I’ve got a…pupil who vapes every 20 minutes. Every 20 minutes. [They are] up ‘till four in the morning…[and] really struggling to get to classes.”

Another said: “There’s a couple, or maybe more than a couple, in here that are totally addicted to it…and they’ll tell you, they’re very upfront about it. So that is having an impact on behaviour, because it’s like if they don’t get out of class they’re getting more and more agitated.”

Advertisement

One pupil added: “I’ve been caught about five times…so you just need to realise what to do and what not to do.”

Dr Andy MacGregor, Director of Policy Research at the Scottish Centre for Social Research, said: “School staff are spending a considerable amount of time trying to address vaping. Pupils are experiencing negative health effects and missing classes, while those who do not vape can find the atmosphere in school toilets intimidating.

“Teaching resources covering vaping and nicotine pouch use and risks would support those delivering personal and social education.”

Liverpool players slammed for ‘disrespecting’ Man United as tunnel footage emerges

Manchester Evening News

Four Liverpool stars have been criticised for their behaviour before their Premier League defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford

Liverpool have been accused of displaying disrespect towards Manchester United after a video emerged of several squad members performing keepy-uppies in the tunnel at Old Trafford.

Arne Slot’s side suffered a 3-2 defeat to United in the Premier League on Sunday, with former Liverpool player Don Hutchison now condemning their pre-match behaviour.

Goals from Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko saw United surge into a 2-0 advantage before careless errors allowed Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo to draw level. Kobbie Mainoo’s low drive from the edge of the area secured victory for United, who completed their first league double over Liverpool for 10 years.

The result highlighted Liverpool’s struggles and footage showed the casual mood amongst senior players before kick-off did little to help their cause. Video shared on social media showed Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones, Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong passing a ball around inside the Old Trafford tunnel.

That provoked criticism from Hutchison, who represented the club in the early 1990s. He wrote on X: “I can’t get my head around the Liverpool players doing keepy-ups inside the Man Utd tunnel. [Jurgen] Klopp + [Jordan] Henderson + [James] Milner etc etc would never have allowed these sort of standards to drop.”

Asked to elaborate on his comments, Hutchison added: “I think the issue with this is.. I looks like disrespect to the opposition that you’re doing keeps-ups in their tunnel. Not focused.

“Concentrate on the team meeting/the instructions from the coaches/tactics. Be diligent in thinking about your opponent. It looks sloppy.”

The loss to United brought an end to a sequence of three consecutive league victories for Liverpool, who occupy fourth place in the Premier League, seven points adrift of their rivals. Having claimed the title in Slot’s first season, they have endured difficulties this campaign and will conclude the month without silverware.

The confirmation that Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson will depart the club at the end of the season will further weaken the senior leadership group that Hutchison referenced, with Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker the only remaining long-serving regulars, though Alisson is also being linked with a move away.

Sunday’s defeat marked Liverpool’s 18th loss of the season across all competitions and Slot was left to reflect on another disappointing display.

“The margins are not so big on us being able to win a game like this, I know what we can improve on and we are already working hard on this,” he said.

“The same issues keep coming back which is not a huge surprise as you don’t have long to fix it during the season. Tactically you can change certain things but for me it is clear where we have to improve and we will.”
