How the outlets frame it

5 outlets, each read from its own headline and opening
  • Stands outLos Angeles Times (tabloid).
  • PlainestCBS News and The New York Times.
Sensational
Measured
Across: does the report cast the development as bad news or good news. Up: does the report play the story up to grab attention. A thin line joins a logo nudged aside to its exact point. 1 outlet could not be placed on both measures.

Tap a logo to see the outlet, the headline it was read from, and where it sits on every measure.

Do the words judge rather than describe?

Between neutral wording and some charged words; no outlet stands apart.

NeutralLoaded
SlantAgree

Does the report give room to one side only?

All 4 read as straight.

StraightOne-sided

1 outlet not placed: the reading was split between distant levels.

All 5 outlets and the headlines they were read from

Each outlet is read blind: a classifier sees its headline and opening next to the story's own headline, without the outlet's name, and scores how the report presents the story. A logo sits at the classifier's average reading, so it can fall between two levels. These readings compare coverage of this story only; they are not ratings of the outlets.
