English speaking media covered the story well, but focused on the exciting 'into the wilderness' aspect of it. Of the articles I could find just now, all seem to omit that the incident was subject to a police investigation and that the tourist was found culpable and fined for negligence.
The local media has plenty more nuance, often leading with a photo of the dead polar bear pointing out that she was a young female (implying we've lost out on plenty of future cubs).
