NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The coverage of the story broadly agrees that the sentence for teenage rapists is being questioned. However, the framing and tone of the coverage differ across outlets. Left-leaning Mirror News and right-leaning Evening Standard have a critical tone, focusing on the perceived leniency of the sentence, while centre-ground Sky News maintains a formal tone, focusing on the consideration of the sentence. The Evening Standard's repetition of the story with a similar tone and focus suggests a strong emphasis on the issue of juvenile rapists' sentencing.
