Pope pictured for first time since surgery and cancer diagnosis

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the pope’s recovery after surgery and give the Vatican as the source, but CBS News foregrounds the “recovering as expected” line and says respiratory physiotherapy has begun, while NBC News emphasizes that he slept well and that recovery could take “longer than expected.” NBC alone adds that Peru’s president said a planned visit might be in jeopardy, a detail not mentioned by CBS.
