BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Washington-centric framing: Nigerian articles cover the outbreak mainly through the prism of US measures and contradictions, rather than the situation in the DRC or East Africa

Preference for institutional critique: ample space given to experts and analysts contesting the Trump administration's strategy, at the expense of Congolese or Ugandan voices

Limited regional African coverage: no mention of the position of neighboring West African countries, including Nigeria, on the risk of virus spread
