Tone of the day
What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Coverage was mainly about Openreach's planned landline switch-off and a weekly recap touching on BT's revenue outlook and Openreach access. The stories were largely factual, so the tone is close to neutral.
