Hurricane Isaias kills four, leaves 650,000 without power in Florida

What the coverage shows

NPR is the only outlet here to lead with the death toll, landfall, and wider damage, while ABC News instead frames the coverage around Montgomery Mayor Steven L. Reed giving an update on Hurricane Isaias’s impact in Alabama. The two extracts overlap only in treating Alabama as part of the coverage, but ABC alone foregrounds a local official’s remarks, and NPR alone mentions at least two deaths, downed trees, and widespread outages.
