UK prosecution labels Russell Brand a ruthless sexual predator at opening of his sex assault trial

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the start of Russell Brand’s rape and sexual assault trial, but their framing differs. The Guardian US presents it as live court coverage and uniquely includes Brand’s quoted reaction on arrival, saying he was “concerned but hopeful.” Channel 4 News instead frames the story as a “trial latest” explainer, with its extract focusing on what happened in court and how jury selection works.
