What the coverage agrees on, and where it splits

This view is generated from the clustered articles, so it is best read as a map of coverage rather than a replacement for the source reporting.

Broadly agreed
  • Both sources confirm Bolivia's president has publicly characterised protest leaders as narco-terrorists driving political unrest.
Contested framing
  • Folha de S.Paulo treats the narco-terrorist framing as a delegitimisation of political opposition; Korea Herald's coverage of the same country ignores the crisis entirely, focusing on bilateral economic opportunity.
Quality check

Read with strong caution: protester voices completely absent. Bolivia's government framing is uncontested in available coverage.

  • Protester perspectives and demands entirely absent—characterisation of 'narco-terrorist' framing is one-sided
  • International response to Bolivia's characterisation is explicitly unconfirmed
  • Korea Herald coverage omits crisis entirely despite bilateral discussion—suggests data limitation, not controversy
  • Paz's framing as 'delegitimisation of opposition' (Folha) vs. straight reporting (Korea Herald) reflects selective coverage, not analytical dispute

Brazilian

Folha de S.Paulo reports President Paz calling protest leaders 'narco-terrorists,' framing it as a government delegitimisation of political opposition consistent with its institutional repression analysis.

South Korean

Korea Herald covers South Korea and Bolivia discussing economic and trade cooperation, treating Bolivia as a partner country without reference to the domestic political crisis.

Framing shifts since last cycle
