N2 - Emerging research on the news representation of obesity and Covid-19 has found that obese individuals are overwhelmingly presented in stigmatising ways in news article texts, but the visual representation of obesity and Covid-19 has been understudied – even in the increasingly ubiquitous in the news stock photographs.

In contrast to past research which has found well over 65% of the analysed photographs to be stigmatising, only slightly over half of the analysed editorial stock photographs were stigmatising.
