What the coverage shows

The outlets converge on framing this as a widening school-protest movement over poor conditions and underfunded schools, with Reuters, AP, CBS, Al Jazeera, the Washington Post and The Independent all emphasizing student action across multiple cities. AP and Reuters foreground live protest updates from specific places, while CBS and 60 Minutes stress closures, duration and the scale of the unrest. Al Jazeera is alone in explicitly noting a suspension of high school classes, and the Washington Post is alone in citing more than 5,000 detentions.
