North Macedonia news, front pages compared

Crosswire lays North Macedonia's front pages next to one another so you can see which stories lead where, how headlines are framed, and what one outlet foregrounds that another leaves out. Of the 4 titles tracked here, 1 lean left and 3 sit near the centre; Crosswire currently lists no right-leaning outlet in North Macedonia, so for a contrasting perspective it is worth reading one of these beside a title from another country.

By kind of outlet, the 4 titles break down as 2 news portals (MKD.mk and Kurir), 1 digital-native outlet (SDK.mk) and 1 daily newspaper (Sloboden Pečat). Crosswire lists no public-service broadcaster for North Macedonia, so the fixed point in a comparison has to be a wire service or the most widely read daily instead.

North Macedonia sits in Southern Europe, on Crosswire's Europe hub. By outlets tracked it is 13th of the 16 countries in Southern Europe and 40th of the 45 across Europe, where the average is 5.9 outlets per country. Its neighbours in Southern Europe with hubs of their own are Spain (13), Italy (10), Portugal (7), Greece (6), Slovenia (6), Croatia (6), Serbia (6), Malta (5), Cyprus (5), Bosnia and Herzegovina (5), Montenegro (5), Albania (5), Kosovo (3), Andorra (3) and San Marino (2).
