NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The coverage of Cambridge University's review into Jason Arday's appointment shows a general agreement on the fact that an independent inquiry will be held. However, the framing and tone of the stories differ, with The Guardian using the term 'agrees to hold', implying a sense of resolution, while centre outlets like BBC News and FT UK focus on the investigation and probe. The tone also varies, with BBC News having a critical tone in one of its reports, while Guido Fawkes and FT UK maintain a neutral and formal tone, respectively.
