formally. There might be a network of discrete phone calls. Or they might just use email with a simple mailing list. Or each news channel constantly monitors what the others are doing, & if they're not in synch with the others, they quickly readjust, to get in synch.

It clearly can't be "coincidence," because stories like these are specific editorial viewpoints. They're not actual events, which all channels might report on in basically the same way.
