What the coverage shows

All outlets focus on Pope Leo’s discharge from hospital and his first public appearance or Angelus prayer at the Vatican soon after surgery, with several also noting that he said he would gradually resume duties. NBC News, Axios, NPR and CBS News emphasize recovery and a return to travel or work, while BBC News, AP, Sky News and The Independent foreground the Sunday prayer and thanks to well-wishers. Reuters is the only outlet here to describe him walking out and smiling as he left the hospital.
