Hurricane Simon lashes Mexico's Pacific coast, pounds resorts and towns

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame Hurricane Simon as a powerful Category 3 storm affecting Mexico’s Pacific coast, with CBS News and NPR converging on the same basic emphasis. NPR goes further by foregrounding resorts and vulnerable towns and adding the detail that people were living between the Sierra Madre and the ocean, while CBS News’ extract is more stripped down and says only that Simon skirted the coast as a major hurricane.
