Outlets edit stories after they go out, usually without saying so. We keep what we saw the first time.

From the report

The 78-year-old was left to call her own ambulance on the footpath with a broken pelvis because trams must return to the depot at once after a serious incident.

How outlets headlined it

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

Save as an image

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 this outlet filed it, and how we rewrote it

No other newsroom we read has filed on this event, so there is nothing to compare it with yet.

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