A state of emergency has been declared in New York in response to a growing number of measles cases.

What the coverage shows

All four outlets center on Kathy Hochul’s emergency declaration in response to rising measles cases in New York. Sky News and The Guardian US keep the focus on the New York declaration itself, while NBC News widens the frame to mention Pennsylvania cases and a national surge. Newsweek is the only outlet here to foreground a map of U.S. measles cases and quotes Hochul directly.
