What the coverage shows

Coverage converges on the New York officials’ Friday update and the Cornell rape investigation, with Reuters and The Hill presenting it as a live news event and 60 Minutes foregrounding a new independent probe. The New York Times is different from the others: its item is not a news update but an editor’s note explaining how The Times is reporting the allegations. The Hill also appears once with an unrelated Trump campaign headline, which does not match the grouped event.
