How the coverage framed it

Coverage of the Amazon cargo plane crash at Miami airport was remarkably uniform across all outlets analyzed, with a bias spread of exactly 0.0 points. Every headline relied on plain, wire-style factual language: outlets reported the death toll straightforwardly ("at least 5 dead," "five dead"), described the incident with neutral verbs ("crashes after veering off runway," "veers off MIA runway"), and framed institutional responses without editorializing ("Federal investigators probe"). Where headlines differed, it was in story angle rather than ideological framing — the Miami Herald pursued local technical questions ("MIA doesn't have EMAS. What is it? Could it have prevented plane crash deaths?") and expert sourcing ("Former pilots weigh in"), while the AP emphasized the investigative response and the Guardian focused on victim identification. These differences reflect standard journalistic variation in follow-up coverage, not partisan framing.
