BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Malaysia's media outlets are delving into the mechanism of viral rumors and investigating their origin, ahead of the diplomatic conflict, with a focus on misinformation.

There is limited coverage of the local humanitarian aspect, with few details on unaccompanied minors or body identification, which are largely absent from the consulted sources.

Malaysian media shows a preference for technological and academic sources, such as Golden Owl and the University of Murcia, over detailed official statements from Spain or Italy.
