A man with a lengthy criminal history, previously freed after attacking two boys in 2003, was charged with stabbing a mother and her two-year-old toddler in Providence, Rhode Island.

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.
