Artist 'taking legal advice' over Tories' use of Andy Burnham portrait
Manchester illustrator Stan Chow says he was not asked permission for use of his cartoon.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on the same basic frame: an artist is seeking legal advice after the Conservatives used a cartoon portrait of Andy Burnham without consent. BBC News is more restrained, stressing that Manchester illustrator Stan Chow says he was not asked for permission, while The Guardian US adds the detail that the cartoon appeared on water bottles at the party conference with the slogan “Bottler Burnham.”
