What the coverage shows
All four outlets cover the same weather system affecting Mexico’s Pacific coast, but they frame it differently. The Guardian US is the only one to foreground five deaths and broader damage, while South China Morning Post and Al Jazeera lead with two reported deaths and South China Morning Post alone mentions 10 missing. CBS News stands apart by focusing on Simon’s impact on resorts and towns and does not foreground casualties in its headline or extract.
