What the coverage shows
All six outlets converge on Paramount’s completion of a Warner Bros. Discovery takeover and on the scale of the deal, with most putting the value around $110 billion. Axios and France 24 emphasize the creation of Skydance and David Ellison’s role, while Forbes foregrounds months of controversy and opposition in Hollywood. Ars Technica alone frames it as a last-ditch effort that failed, and Sky News is the only outlet here to use the $81bn figure.
