From the report

The news of the day as interpreted by our talented artists, illustrators and cartoonists.

How outlets headlined it

Each outlet's own headline. ~~Struck through~~: the loaded words our version leaves out. Plainest first.

The Age Best of cartoons, October 5, 2026 plain
The Sydney Morning Herald Best of cartoons, October 2, 2026 plain
Engadget Engadget's best of 2026 plain

This is a summary. The indicators are not. The scores were measured over this summary alone, which is less of the article than we would like and makes them less certain.

How each outlet filed it

Also covered by The Sydney Morning Herald, WAtoday, Brisbane Times, The Age. We hold only their summary of it, not the report, so there is nothing of theirs to measure here.
