Why it matters

The stakes turn on whether readers accept that WHO declares global health emergency over Ebola outbreak in DR Congo. That point shapes the political meaning of the story.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: WHO declares global health emergency over Ebola outbreak in DR Congo.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
