Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •ANSA uniquely cites survivors: 'we departed with 110 people'
- •The 'Libyan SAR zone' framing is a political position that shields Italy from rescue responsibility
- •Lampedusa's routine processing of shipwrecks embodies the indifference the Pope denounces
