15 articles scored. The band shows the middle half of their article scores, and the tick is the median.
- Al-Monitor median
- 2.5
- Below Al-Monitor's median
- 0.5
- Desk headline score
- 6.2
0.5 below Al-Monitor's own median on this topic. Measures anti-Iran framing in Iran coverage. 0 means none detected, 10 means severe. Headline framing is left out of the byline score and shown separately, because subeditors write headlines, not reporters.
The articles behind the number
Every scored Iran article under this byline in the window, newest first. The score on each row is that article's full composite, headline included, which is the number its own page shows; the median above excludes headline framing.
