Coverage that diverges · with 2 other countries

BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Diplomatic-consular framing centered on the plight of Uruguayan nationals and the official reaction from Montevideo, prioritizing these aspects over the details of the human toll in Colombia.

Preference for official sources, such as Colombian presidential statements and press releases from the Uruguayan Ministry of Foreign Relations, over eyewitness accounts.

Limited coverage of the detailed material damage in Colombia, including the Pereira airport and the Manizales cathedral, as well as international aid from other countries.
