Six weeks of UK media headlines. The election is done. Now we can compare.
Reform UK received 2.23x more coverage in UK-wide outlets than Scottish outlets from the same publishers. Their vote share was 2.21x higher in England than Scotland.
The Scottish Greens finished third in Holyrood. Their co-leader received zero BBC Scotland mentions in the six weeks before polling day.
Some more findings, including how UK and Scottish editions frame the same stories differently:
