saliency

Abortion rights was the top issue for 27 percent of voters, proving the saliency of that issue months after the high court’s decision.

While other districts in the U.S. had dealt with the issue, Loudoun appeared to gain the most attention, and the state as a whole would become a test case for the political saliency of education.

In May, Twitter admitted racial biases in the way its "saliency algorithm" cropped previews of images.

Beyond policy details, Amber Roessner, a 41-year-old University of Tennessee professor who wrote “Jimmy Carter and the Birth of the Marathon Media Campaign,” said Carter’s broader political identity from the 1970s has “regained some saliency.”

The "saliency algorithm" decided how images would be cropped in Twitter previews, before being clicked on to open at full size.
