What every side reports

A boat capsized in New York Harbor near the Statue of Liberty. A woman and an infant girl died. The operator of the boat was charged/arrested.

Where the framing diverges

All sides report the same core event with similar neutral language. The center outlets emphasize the human tragedy through a colleague's quote about a family outing, while the right outlet provides more specific detail (the named operator, his age, the 13 counts of reckless endangerment, victims' ages, and how the bodies were recovered). Differences are largely in level of detail rather than in evaluative slant.
