Nigeria Confirms First Ebola Case as African Outbreak Spreads

What the coverage shows

The two outlets converge on the outbreak’s spread beyond its original focus, with both framing the story around new cases and regional or international risk. Newsweek leads with Nigeria’s first confirmed case and the broader African outbreak, while Al Jazeera instead foregrounds Kenya’s ninth confirmed case and, in the extract, notes the patient was already in quarantine. Only Newsweek’s extract explicitly mentions the WHO saying the Kenya case underscores the risk of international spread.
