What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the recovery of stolen Renoir paintings and include the roughly $10 million valuation. CBS News adds that thieves broke into the museum, escaped with two works and left two others behind, while NBC News instead foregrounds the mayor’s statement praising investigators and is the only one to say the town houses the Renoir Museum.
