NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The coverage of the Norwegian hitman's guilty verdict broadly agrees on the key facts of the case. However, the framing and emphasis differ slightly, with right-leaning outlets like the Daily Mail and BBC News highlighting the 'Iran-backed gang' and 'UK murder plot', while centre-leaning outlets like the Evening Standard and The Independent focus on the 'Norwegian hitman' and 'gang linked to Iran'. The tone remains serious across all outlets.
