Huge crowds watch attempt to rescue shark stranded in South Korean canal

What the coverage shows

All outlets cover the rescue attempt for the stranded shark and note the large public attention around it, with BBC, AP and ABC all mentioning a third attempt or earlier failed efforts. The Guardian US and AP are the only ones that give the shark a name, Bukang-i, and only the Guardian foregrounds the month-long vigil with visitors and YouTubers. Channel 4 News is the only outlet to frame the story as the shark having been freed, while BBC’s later item keeps the focus on crowds watching the attempt.
