What the coverage shows
All five outlets focus on the same basic news peg: a Russian lab worker’s death tied to suspected plague and an investigation into possible exposure. NBC News and The Independent’s later item are the only ones that foreground the reported quarantine or hospital closures, while Sky News and The Hill stand out for leading with U.S. government monitoring. CNN frames it most generally as an investigation into a possible dangerous lab release.
