Blue Planet and Gandhi composer George Fenton dies aged 76

The musician received five Oscar nominations, and soundtracked dozens of memorable nature films.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets lead on George Fenton’s death at 76 and underline his Oscar recognition and long filmography. BBC News frames him through familiar credits like Blue Planet and Gandhi and adds that he soundtracked many nature films, while The Guardian US is more expansive, listing Groundhog Day, 18 Ken Loach films and BBC TV news themes. The Guardian US is also the only outlet here to spell out that he earned five Oscar nominations for scores including Gandhi and Dangerous Liaisons.
