What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story as a suspected grizzly bear attack in Canada involving a mother and daughter, but they differ on the status of the victims. The Guardian US says one is dead and the other is missing, and uniquely adds that the incident happened in the same province where a grizzly attacked schoolchildren last November. CBS News alone says family members identified the victims as Jennifer Balcarras and her 20-year-old daughter, Selah Reed, and its headline says both are dead.
