“…Information value is prioritized, but aesthetics and layout policies also factor into photo selection. Another study (Heryono & Faisal, 2018) employed semiotics analysis to understand the relationship between text and image in news trying to answer the question of why the text and image in online news should be associated and if they match. It analyzed three levels of analysis processes, including the engagement in text and image, the discursive relationship involved in the news that turned into a hoax, and the intention of attaching the misplaced image to the text.…”

This study investigates the interplay between visual semiotics and sentiment analysis in newspaper coverage of two significant events: Roger Federer's retirement and Queen Elizabeth's death. The research addresses the underexplored area of how visual elements, when combined with sentiment analysis of headlines, contribute to the portrayal of emotions and public sentiment surrounding significant events. While sentiment analysis in headlines has been extensively studied, the role of visual semiotics in shaping sentiment has received limited attention. By employing a qualitative approach that blends visual semiotics and sentiment analysis, this research aims to bridge this gap. The study examines front-page headlines and accompanying photographs from newspapers across various countries during the aftermath of these events. Visual semiotics analysis focuses on compositional elements, colors, shapes, and symbols in the photographs, while sentiment analysis assesses emotional valence in headlines through a lexicon-based approach. This combined methodology offers a comprehensive understanding of how media constructs and conveys emotions. The findings reveal a nuanced relationship between visual semiotics and sentiment in headlines. In Roger Federer's retirement coverage, visual elements like facial expressions, colors, and symbols are employed to evoke nostalgia and honor, aligning with sentiments expressed in the headlines. Similarly, in the Queen Elizabeth's death coverage, the use of black and white, solemn expressions, and symbolic placement reinforce sentiments of mourning and respect.

“…Heryono and Helmy note that the verbal or textual expression of ‘words’ is not the only way to signify hate [ 75 : 241]. Graphic images, metaphors, or symbolic objects such as flags or national monuments can be nonverbal signs of hate [ 142 : 446–447, 45 : 309–332, 11 : 193–196, 118 : 33–41].…”

“…It has been suggested that racialised speech is the most prevalent form of hate speech on social media platforms [ 130 : 89]. However, it is not just the verbal or textual expression of ‘words’ that can denote hate [ 75 : 241]. Graphic images in the form of pictures and metaphors, or objects such as flags can also be considered hate speech [ 142 : 446–447, 45 : 309–332].…”

Social media is changing the way humans create and exchange information. Not all social media communications are, however, civil: the ‘dark side’ of social media cultivates various ‘anti-social’ exchanges including hate speech. Parallel accelerating social media use has been an increase in decision-makers having to consider the legalities of dismissing employees for social media misconduct. This paper through an analysis of first instance South African employee dismissal decisions, identifies an economy of hate within South African workplaces. In 30% of social media misconduct decisions (120/400), employees were dismissed for circulating racialised hate speech. This hate speech took three forms. First was the use of animality discourse and animal metaphors to dehumanise colleagues and employers. Second, employees used words that had specific racist connotations within South Africa. Third, there was the direct deployment of signs or symbols connected with South Africa’s racialised past.
