## Coverage angles

Both sides report the same conviction, but the center media focuses on the judicial decision and the location of the facts, while the right media stresses the accused's origin, his administrative status, and a sense of recurring violence.

**Common ground**

- Six-month suspended prison sentence
- Facts took place in the Méan-Penhoët district of Saint-Nazaire
- Use of a bicycle chain during a street brawl

**Differences**

- The right-wing media mentions the accused's Algerian origin and a temporary incapacity for work, absent from the center media
- The right-wing media cites the accused's statement that he wanted to separate the two men, not taken up by the center media
- The right-wing media evokes a "sense of violence taking root", an angle absent from the center media
