The Herald’s experts on who will win the NRL grand final
From the report
How outlets headlined it
Each outlet's own headline. Struck through: the loaded words our version leaves out. Plainest first.
- Brisbane Times The Herald’s experts on who will win the NRL grand final plain
- WAtoday The NRL grand final will be decided by a mistake. The key is to avoid making one 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 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 WAtoday, Brisbane Times, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age. We hold only their summary of it, not the report, so there is nothing of theirs to measure here.
