Coverage briefs
How the story was told.
One news story at a time, read by Alethman’s engine: what every report agrees on, what is still open, which outlets carry each version, and whether coverage split. Every report is linked, so you can check the reading.
- United States and India · A lean, not a split · The US green-card suspension: a major blow to Indian IT, or a small one? Every report agrees on what the US Labor Department did. They differ on what it means for Indian IT firms, and one analysis argues against the main reading. Read the brief
- India · Did not split · India’s cap on cancer-drug margins: one frame, and a number nobody has settled Coverage of the 30% trade-margin cap did not split. Every outlet calls it relief for patients. The size of that relief is a government projection. Read the brief
- Delhi, India · Did not split · The Supreme Court’s Sunday order on the Delhi protests: the same facts, four emphases Reports agree on what the court ordered. They differ in what they lead with, and the question the order left open, whether the restrictions were lawful, is still before the court. Read the brief
How a brief is read.
- One story
- Alethman groups reports about the same event into one story, and states the claim at its center as one sentence.
- Each report
- A language model reads each report’s stance on that claim and the frame it uses. The labels are judgments, so every report is linked for you to check.
- Independent voices
- Each outlet counts once, however many reports it runs. Copies of a wire story are not counted as separate voices.
- A split
- Coverage splits when at least three independent outlets carry an opposing frame. Fewer than three is a lean.
- No verdict
- A brief shows what is agreed, what is open and who carries each version. It never says which version is right.
