BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Dominant economic framing: the article emphasizes the insignificance of the fines compared to the companies' revenue, prioritizing the financial reading over the memorial dimension

Preference for procedural angle: the coverage details the judicial mechanics (double burden of proof, upcoming appeals) more than the families' experience

Limited coverage of non-Western victims: the 33 nationalities on board are mentioned globally, without development on potential Arab or Asian victims
