Paramount completes $111B Warner merger, creating “Skydance” behemoth

What the coverage shows

The outlets converge on the merger’s closure and on the new company name, Skydance, with several also calling it a major or historic deal. Axios and Forbes foreground the scale and industry impact, while Forbes is the only one to mention widespread opposition in Hollywood. Ars Technica uniquely frames it as a failed last-ditch effort to stop the merger, and NPR only mentions the deal in a brief side note alongside unrelated midterm polling.
