- Based on semi-structured interviews with journalists in six European countries, this article examines the extent to which the findings of recent literature about the representation of migrants in European media content are reflected in the perceptions of journalists themselves about the way in which migrants are represented in the media discourses produced by their outlets. It finds that the four key findings of the literature were by and large confirmed, namely inaccurate group labelling and designation, negative or victimised representation, underrepresentation of migrants in quotations, and the scarce reference to a wider European context. Finally, the article discusses media professionals’ self-reported awareness about general professional ethics versus diversity-specific ethics, and about the way in which their outlets cover news involving ‘‘new’’ immigrants, i.e. nationals of non-European Union countries residing in the European Union, and examines the differences between media practices and perceptions in ‘‘old’’ and ‘‘new’’ immigration countries.For a full explanation of the methodology of the research project, please see the introduction in this themed section: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17512786.2012.740213.

- Background High-risk human papilloma virus (HR HPV) testing and liquid-based cytology are used for primary cervical screening. Digital cytology, based on whole-slide scanned samples, is a promising technique for teaching and diagnostic purposes. The aim of our study was to evaluate the interobserver and intraobserver variation in low-grade squamous lesions, HR HPV status bias, and the use of whole-slide scanned digital cervical cytology slides. Methods Fifteen expert cytopathologists evaluated 71 digitalized ThinPrep slides (31 atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance [ASC-US], 21 negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy, and 19 low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion cases). HR HPV data were accessible only in the second round. Results In interobserver analysis, Kendalls coefficient of concordance was 0.52 in the first round and 0.58 in the second round. Fleiss kappa values were 0.29 in the first round and 0.31 in the second round. In the ASC-US category, Fleiss kappa increased from 0.19 to 0.22 in the second round and the increase was even higher expressed by Kendalls coefficient: from 0.42 to 0.52. In intraobserver analysis, personal scores were higher in the second round. Conclusions The interobserver and intraobserver variability in low-grade squamous lesions was within fair agreement values in the present study, in line with previous works. The comparison of two rounds showed that expert cytopathologists are generally unbiased by the knowledge of HR HPV data, but that being informed of the HR HPV status leads to a better agreement. Stain quality and back discomfort were highlighted as factors affecting digital cytopathology use.
