Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the Dec. 3 firing-squad execution of former Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, will be open to the public, potentially the first U.S. public execution in nearly 90 years. It remains unclear whether the event will be livestreamed. Retired Staff Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford, a survivor shot in the head, plans to witness the execution.

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.
