What the coverage shows

All outlets converge on the same basic frame: Tennessee tried to carry out Christa Pike’s execution and it did not succeed, with several reports saying she survived two doses of lethal injection. The Hill and Axios foreground the legal path to the execution, while Al Jazeera, France 24, NPR, the Guardian US and the South China Morning Post emphasize the failed procedure and its aftermath. The Independent alone adds repeated detail about witnesses hearing her snoring and being rushed to hospital, and only The Hill and the Independent note the “first woman in 200 years” angle.
