How the coverage framed it

Coverage of this story was largely uniform across outlets, with both AP and Sky News scoring identically at -1.0 and sharing a consistent victim-centered framing. Both headlines foregrounded the human toll — AP's reference to "112 bodies finally recovered" and Sky News's phrase "112 victims buried under rubble" both emphasize loss and prolonged suffering rather than, for instance, military or political context. The primary framing difference between the two is one of degree rather than direction: AP's "finally recovered" implies an extended wait without elaborating on its length, while Sky News makes the duration explicit with "nearly three years," adding an additional emotional weight through specificity. Neither headline introduces a political actor, assigns responsibility, or frames the event in terms of conflict strategy. The shared framing reflects a narrow but consistent lean toward humanizing victims, with no meaningful ideological divide present between the two outlets.
