BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Disinformation-centered framing: emphasis on online rumors rather than structural migration policies between Morocco and the EU

Reliance on Moroccan and international newswire sources: both articles draw on Le360, Hespress, and AFP reporting without direct migrant testimony

Limited coverage of Spain's and the EU's role: European funding for Moroccan migration enforcement does not appear in the Senegalese articles examined
