What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around anti-government protests in Albania turning violent, with Tirana as the main setting. The Associated Press presents it as a live developing protest feed and is alone in mentioning students joining the so-called flamingo movement and rallies for Prime Minister Edi Rama to resign. PBS NewsHour foregrounds the clashes, says the protests stretched into a third day, and uniquely adds the Health Ministry figure of more than 80 injured.
