A 7.7-magnitude earthquake rocks Panama

What the coverage shows

All four outlets lead with the same core fact pattern: a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Panama and tsunami warnings, with NBC News and The Independent also foregrounding the alerting of neighboring countries. CBS News is the only outlet to mention a second 6.6 quake later in the day. The Guardian US stands apart by emphasizing panic and damage in the capital, while The Independent is the only one to specify the quake’s location near Pitaloza Arriba.
