A textual data processing task that involves the automatic extraction of relevant and salient keyphrases from a document that expresses all the important concepts of the document is called keyphrase extraction. Due to technological advancements, the amount of textual information on the Internet is rapidly increasing as a lot of textual information is processed online in various domains such as offices, news portals, or for research purposes. Given the exponential increase of news articles on the Internet, manually searching for similar news articles by reading the entire news content that matches the user's interests has become a time-consuming and tedious task. Therefore, automatically finding similar news articles can be a significant task in text processing. In this context, keyphrase extraction algorithms can extract information from news articles. However, selecting the most appropriate algorithm is also a problem. Therefore, this study analyzes various supervised and unsupervised keyphrase extraction algorithms, namely KEA, KP-Miner, YAKE, MultipartiteRank, TopicRank, and TeKET, which are used to extract keyphrases from news articles. The extracted keyphrases are used to compute lexical and semantic similarity to find similar news articles. The lexical similarity is calculated using the Cosine and Jaccard similarity techniques. In addition, semantic similarity is calculated using a word embedding technique called Word2Vec in combination with the Cosine similarity measure. The experimental results show that the KP-Miner keyphrase extraction algorithm, together with the Cosine similarity calculation using Word2Vec (Cosine-Word2Vec), outperforms the other combinations of keyphrase extraction algorithms and similarity calculation techniques to find similar news articles. The similar articles identified using KPMiner and the Cosine similarity measure with Word2Vec appear to be relevant to a particular news article and thus show satisfactory performance with a Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG) value of 0.97. This study proposes a method for finding similar news articles that can be used in conjunction with other methods already in use.

Social networks are a battlefield for political propaganda. Protected by the anonymity of the internet, political actors use computational propaganda to influence the masses. Their methods include the use of synchronized or individual bots, multiple accounts operated by one social media management tool, or different manipulations of search engines and social network algorithms, all aiming to promote their ideology.

Introduction: A long-term engagement (LTE) intervention was embedded in a social marketing campaign aimed at motivating quit attempts among Canadian adult commercial tobacco users 35 to 64 years of age. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness and appeal of LTE within a marketing campaign.
Methods: 3,199 Canadians who smoked cigarettes aged 35-64 recruited using Facebook and Instagram advertisements were randomized into Intervention and Control groups.

The paper advocates for the necessity of inclusive media literacy education (MLE) and equal opportunities for young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which is in alignment with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) 2008 and the Sustainable Development Goal 4 Quality Education (SDG, 2030). It underscores the commitment to 'leaving no one behind', a core tenet of the SDGs, by focusing on developing digital empathy and inclusive MLE for young adults with ASD in the digital age. The study aims to empower young adults with ASD in Chennai, India, with media literacy and digital empathy through a one-day hands-on workshop and to assess the impact of this educational intervention on their understanding and application of media literacy in their daily lives.
