## Coverage angles

Both sides report the same facts (attempted stabbings in Hyères, suspect in an irregular situation, hospitalization during police custody), but the right-wing media places the suspect's administrative status in the headline, while the centrist media highlights more the course of the attack and the procedure.

**Common ground**

- Attempted stabbings targeting two high school students and a young woman in Hyères on Monday, November 2
- The suspect was arrested and then hospitalized during his police custody
- The suspect is in an irregular situation

- The right-wing media describes the facts as 'suspected' and places the irregular status at the beginning of the headline, whereas the centrist media presents the attack as established and relegates this status to the end of the headline
