2/ I shelved the idea (for a while) when I realised that just showing the volume of articles mentioning "Labour" + "antisemitism" might simply reinforce existing prejudices. Corbyn supporters would see a media conspiracy. Opponents would see evidence of an actual crisis
3/ I came back to the data after seeing this tweet by @davidgraeber. What I found interesting was the factor of virtually zero coverage of antisemitism in political parties before 2015, and the relative absence of articles covering Tory antisemitism
4/ The data that I scraped from the @guardian (up to today) is summarised in this chart. 513 articles tagged "Antisemitism" + "Labour" vs 62 tagged "Antisemitism" + "Conservatives" between 2015 and 2019. Zero articles with either combination in 2014. 
5/ I felt like this tweet by @MichaelRosenYes captured the essence of the data so aptly that I borrowed it for the title of the chart
6/ If you want to check out the data that I scraped you can find it in this spreadsheet. All of the articles include headline, author (where relevant) and url, so there's plenty more analysis that can be done (Cc. @marcowenjones @daveberkeleyuk) bit.ly/guardianas
7/ If you want a proper media analysis on this subject, I would recommend getting hold of a copy of "Bad News for Labour: Antisemitism, the Party and Public Belief" by Greg Philo, Mike Berry, @jrschlosberg, @tonylerman & @Tracking_Power plutobooks.com/9780745340661/…
8/ A few others I would recommend following on Twitter on this topic are @AsaWinstanley @medialens @jsternweiner and @Jonathan_K_Cook (I realise I've mentioned a dozen men and zero women so far in this thread... so any other recommendations very welcome!)
