## Coverage angles

The three media outlets cover the same police report on the evolution of arms trafficking in Île-de-France, highlighting the new supply channels (Turkish counterfeits, 3D printing, data theft). The angles differ mainly in the emphasis on the youth and violence of the actors on the right, while the center focuses on manufacturing and import methods.

**Common ground**

- The report originates from the judicial police services and concerns Île-de-France.
- Turkish counterfeits are cited as a supply channel.
- 3D printing and data theft are mentioned as new circuits.
- The use of large-caliber weapons is a shared observation.

**Differences**

- Le Figaro and Fdesouche stress actors « younger and more violent », an element not reflected in Le Parisien's headline.
- Le Figaro presents the report as an « exclusive » publication consulted by the newspaper, an angle absent from the other headlines.
