Not quite the right place for this but it is useful to illustrate the different perspectives placed by each organisation on the same news item:
In chronological order:
1. Stuff: http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/south-pacific/9561670/Third-icebreaker-to-attempt-rescue Concentrates on the feelings of the passengers.
2. NZ Herald: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11179140 More factual and covers the options for an air rescue.
3. Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/world/antarctica-live/2013/dec/29/trapped-antarctic-passengers-air-evacuation Much more detail about a rescue operation and conditions leading up to the stranding and subsequent efforts to reach the vessel.
My non-journalistic take on this: Stuff is much more lightweight and more looking for some sensationalism than the Herald or the Guardian.
