BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Domestic security prism: British coverage systematically brings the verdict back to the question of threat on UK soil, more than to the Austrian case itself.

Manchester 2017 reference: association with the British precedent frames the reading toward a recurring, systemic threat, potentially amplifying public anxiety.

Limited coverage of Austrian judicial process: the trial proceedings, witness testimony and jury deliberations receive little detail.
