Child dead, two left critical in 'traumatic' stabbing

The West Australian Nick Wilson
Summary

From the report

A young child has died and two others are fighting for life after a stabbing that sent shock waves through a small township.

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 outlets headlined it

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