Morning coverage was dominated by the aftermath of the Paris metro stabbings. Editors across the political spectrum emphasized the administrative failure regarding the suspect's non-executed deportation order (OQTF), while right-leaning outlets like Le Figaro highlighted growing urban insecurity and 'ultra-left' sabotage. Simultaneously, the formal promulgation of the 'special law' to extend the 2025 budget into 2026 provided a sense of institutional continuity following weeks of political paralysis.
By afternoon, editorial priority shifted toward Volodymyr Zelensky’s diplomatic marathon. Media outlets tracked his travel through Canada to secure European support and his skepticism regarding Russian peace intentions following a massive drone strike on Kyiv. This was paired with reports on internal Ukrainian corruption probes and Russian deployment of hypersonic missiles in Belarus.
In the evening, the domestic narrative returned to the metro attacks as authorities lifted the suspect’s custody for psychiatric reasons. This shift toward a medicalized explanation effectively paused the legal and political debate over the OQTF, even as 40 arrests at the Trocadéro for illegal fireworks reinforced the day's theme of urban disorder.

On December 27, Iranian editorial priorities were split between ideological defiance and cultural mourning. The morning began with state-aligned media amplifying Supreme Leader Khamenei’s address to students in Europe, framing the 'Islamic Order'—rather than the nuclear dispute—as the primary cause of Western friction. This ideological hardening coincided with reports from reformist and diaspora outlets on the deepening domestic crisis, specifically record-low fertility rates and a 52.6% inflation spike that saw gold prices jump 10 million tomans in four days.
By early afternoon, state outlets shifted focus to President Pezeshkian’s rhetoric of 'comprehensive war' against the West and Israel. However, by late afternoon, a singular cultural event unified all media segments: the death of playwright and filmmaker Bahram Beyzai on his 87th birthday. While state media balanced his legacy with political narratives, diaspora and independent sources dedicated their evening coverage almost entirely to Beyzai's historical impact on Persian art.

The morning began with a heavy focus on public health and internal security, as editors prioritized reports that over half of Dutch goat farms are located too close to schools, posing pneumonia risks. This concern for domestic safety was compounded by the news of a teenager recruited for pro-Russian cyber-espionage and a violent stabbing at a Rotterdam concert.
By the afternoon, the editorial tone shifted toward a somber year-end reflection. Analysis moved from immediate holiday accidents to structural societal issues, including the rising cost of living due to 2026 energy projections and the normalization of radical protest and racist rhetoric in urban centers.
The evening was dominated by a sharp escalation in civil unrest.

The day concluded with a shift toward immediate environmental hazards, as a severe storm caused utility failures and the first reported fatality, leading editors to prioritize localized emergency management over strategic defense concerns.

On December 27, Chinese state media editors transitioned from the previous day's focus on internal Party discipline to a comprehensive retrospective of 2025, framing the year’s domestic inspections as the foundation for the upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan. Throughout the morning, Xinhua, CCTV, and People's Daily synchronized a "Leading China" campaign, elevating Xi Jinping’s 2025 activities into a strategic blueprint for national stability and "handling one’s own affairs." This narrative was reinforced by the conclusion of the NPC Standing Committee session, which finalized legislative updates to the Foreign Trade Law and national digital certificates.
By early afternoon, a sharp contrast emerged between domestic and external reporting.

Additionally, independent financial reporting from Caixin highlighted domestic friction, focusing on the competitive pressures of AI large models and the challenges faced by Chinese firms adapting to labor laws in Brazil.
