NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The coverage of heatwave-related deaths broadly agrees on the high number of fatalities, with all outlets reporting over 2,700 deaths. However, the framing and emphasis differ slightly, with GB News specifying England and Wales, while Mirror News uses the broader term 'UK'. The tone remains largely informative and neutral across centre-leaning outlets, with GB News also adopting an informative tone despite being right-leaning.
