Coverage from North America

Stories where outlets based in North America are part of the picture. North American media often lead with angles, voices and consequences that coverage elsewhere misses, and sometimes miss what others see. On each analysis you can compare their account with reporting from the other nine regions we follow: what everyone agrees on, where the accounts differ and how each frames the story. Every outlet is labelled by country and ownership, whether public, private, independent or state-controlled.
