A man died after entering a tiger enclosure at a UK wildlife park, echoing several high-profile incidents at U.S. zoos.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center on a man’s death after entering a tiger enclosure at a UK zoo, with The Guardian US giving the most concrete account by saying police pronounced him dead at the scene and that Yorkshire Wildlife Park was evacuated and closed. Newsweek uses the event as a broader frame, explicitly linking it to similar high-profile incidents at U.S. zoos. The main difference is that The Guardian focuses on the local incident, while Newsweek foregrounds the comparison.
