What the coverage shows

All the outlets focus on curfews and a wider wave of unrest, with several, including NBC News, BBC News, The Guardian US and the New York Times, highlighting officials’ acknowledgment that police “lost control” or were underprepared. The South China Morning Post and The Guardian US are among the few to note curfews in multiple cities, while France 24 and one ABC News item focus more narrowly on Paris or on explainer framing. The Independent stands out for foregrounding protesters’ grievances over cost of living and public services, a detail not central in most other coverage.
