A Russia Minibus Crash Kills Twelve

TL;DR

Reuters files three vehicles colliding in the Arkhangelsk region with 12 dead; Friday does not print a later 13.

MSM Perspective

Reuters filed 12 dead on Friday. A crash is not a finished investigation.

X Perspective

Feeds treat a highway crash as a closed criminal case.

Three vehicles collided in Russia's Arkhangelsk region, killing 12 people. [1] Reuters filed a minibus, a logging truck, and a passenger car on the M-8. [1] Print 12. Do not print a later 13. Later counts belong to later editions.

An Investigative Committee case is an opened case, not a verdict. Injuries in Friday copy are injuries, not extra dead. Print Friday's 12. Leave a mourning day to the edition that owns a mourning day.

Friday recap that treats 12 as a closed highway file is a feed, not Reuters. Print the crash. Do not invent a cause beyond the collision as filed.

Saturday can recap; Friday prints 12.
Twelve remains Friday's only named crash count on this Moscow desk.
