same framing
BelgiumBrussels soberly relays the human toll of the Tibetan earthquake: two Belgian media outlets take up the Xinhua figures, 16 dead and 32 injured, and follow the ongoing rescue efforts.

by official sources
the narrative begins with attribution to Chinese state media rather than independent verification.
Preliminary assessment
the damage evaluation is presented as incomplete, with no other source than local authorities.
What the account puts first
BelgiumRelies on a single source
the numerical toll is based solely on the Xinhua agency.
Omits rescue conditions
the text does not describe the altitude, cold, or access to affected areas.
