What the coverage shows

All four outlets frame the story as student protests in France centered on schools, with NBC News and AP emphasizing complaints about shortages, facilities and staffing, while BBC News leads on up to 500 schools being closed. France 24 is the only outlet to foreground the injury claim and the only one to focus on false and misleading videos shared by far-right figures. Across the coverage, the common thread is unrest tied to education conditions, but the framing shifts from disruption and protest scale to injuries and misinformation.
