Associated Press
What the coverage shows
All outlets frame the story as a widening student-led protest over school funding and conditions, with many noting spread across France and the involvement of teachers, parents or unions. AP, Reuters, CBS News and Al Jazeera emphasize the protest scale and the schools or classes affected, while The Hill and Channel 4 foreground violence and police clashes; the Washington Post is alone in highlighting detentions, and AP alone in one extract gives a figure of more than 250,000 rallying.
