What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the story as a storm-preparation and landfall update, with CBS News, Reuters, BBC News and AP using live or breaking-news language, and ABC News, CNN and PBS NewsHour emphasizing worsening conditions, storm surge and the approach to landfall. NPR and CNBC stand out for focusing on the oil industry and fuel markets, while The Guardian US highlights resident preparations in video form. The Washington Post is the only outlet here to foreground a tracker map and projected path, and The Independent appears twice with a Category 4 explainer and later an evacuees-and-warnings update.
