Are they all correct?

There are three sentences here:
1. The article opens and closes with descriptions of two news reports, each making one major point in contrast with the other.
2. The article opens and closes with descriptions of two news reports and each of them makes one major point in contrast with the other.
3. The article opens and closes with descriptions of two news reports, of which each makes one major point in contrast with the other.

Are three of them all correct? If they are, is there any differences in their meaning? If some of them are not proper, why?

The phrase "each making one major point in contrast with the other" in the 1st sentence seems to be a independent nominative structure, which serves as the adverbial. But I'm not sure what kind of logical relationship it convey.
The second seems to be a normal compound sentence. It should be correct.
The clause "of which each makes one major point in contrast with the other" in the last sentence seems to be a attributive clause, but I'm not sure if it is correct used.

Thank you for your attention and reply!
