What the coverage shows

All three outlets frame the story around the coronation of a journalist-turned-king in Uganda’s Tooro Kingdom, with BBC and Al Jazeera also using that identity in the headline or extract. Reuters is the only outlet to foreground the succession feud, while BBC alone notes President Museveni attended the ceremony and Al Jazeera alone mentions the death of King Oyo Nyimba triggering grief and dispute.
