NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The coverage of France's first Ebola case broadly agrees on the facts, with all outlets reporting the case in a doctor who worked in the DRC. However, the framing and emphasis differ slightly, with some outlets focusing on the case itself, while others highlight the location of the outbreak or the doctor's return from Africa. The tone remains largely neutral across centre-aligned outlets, with a slight alarmist tone in GB News.
