Where it breaks apart

• — Central victim focus — Each country highlights a different victim from the same accident: Ecuador, France, and part of the Belgian press center their narrative on the Ecuadorian intelligence chief and his institutional role, while the United States prioritizes the death toll of its five nationals, including a Telemundo executive.
• — Air safety contextualization — The United Kingdom situates the crash within a history of three fatal helicopter accidents in Kenya since 2021, while Kenyan and South African press stick to the account of the ongoing investigation without comparative context.
• — Information sourcing mode — Nigeria and South Africa construct their coverage from agency dispatches reproduced almost identically, while Kenyan press relies on local institutional communications (KCAA, Kenyan Red Cross) without distinct independent sources.
