What the coverage shows
All the outlets converge on the court outcome, with repeated wording that Chris Brown received an eight-month suspended sentence and avoided immediate jail time. Reuters, AP and the South China Morning Post also foreground the nightclub setting and the bottle assault, while ABC News adds that he pleaded guilty in July and notes the maximum possible sentence. Only Reuters’ later item highlights surveillance video released by police, and BBC News runs the briefest straight report.
