The Irish author said her books can no longer be sold in the UK after she pledged the royalties to a banned pro-Palestinian group.

What the coverage shows

All four outlets frame the story around Sally Rooney’s books disappearing from UK sale over her support for Palestine Action, with CBS News emphasizing that they are no longer being supplied to retailers. NPR and France 24 both foreground Rooney’s statement about royalties and the sale ban, while France 24 alone adds the label “terrorist organisation” for Palestine Action in its extract. Al Jazeera’s extract is the least substantive, only saying “We asked students what they think.”
