BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

The Ecuadorian government's aid efforts take center stage, with a focus on the country's humanitarian shipments, personnel deployments, and logistical routes, rather than internal Colombian debates on reconstruction funding.

Limited coverage is given to Colombia's internal political aspects, with articles failing to delve into the controversies surrounding aid management raised by Colombian sources.

There is a preference for wire reports via El Universo, with most numerical data sourced from a single outlet, supplemented by a single El Comercio article on Ecuador's aid deployment.
