Coverage that diverges · with 3 other countries

BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Canada's media coverage frames the country's relationship with the US, focusing on its status as a Trump ally and dual nationality, rather than delving into Colombia's internal dynamics

Canadian outlets show a preference for the security angle, extensively detailing promises to combat narcotrafficking and build "mega-prisons", over the economic or social program

Canada's news coverage of the region is limited, with little attention given to other attending heads of state, such as Milei and Felipe VI, beyond their presence, or to reactions from the Colombian opposition beyond Petro
