Indiana carries out first of 3 U.S. executions set for Thursday

An Indiana man was executed in the first of three lethal injections scheduled for Thursday in the U.S., which would mark the second time this year that three people in the U.S. were put to death on the same day.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on Indiana as the first of three executions scheduled for Thursday, and both note that this would be the second time this year three people faced execution on the same day. Fox News frames the story by identifying the man as convicted of killing two children and by saying three executions are scheduled across Indiana, Florida and Alabama, while CBS News uses the broader label “an Indiana man” and says Indiana carried out the first of the three lethal injections.
