Abstract

Obesity has always been a much-debated topic in the UK press, in recent years the number of related reports has doubled. The way the media uses describing the narrative of this topic greatly influences the attitude of society. The study examines in a ten-year period on the basis of articles written from 2008 to 2017 what narrative the UK media uses to describe obesity and how it has changed over the years.
