The South Africa media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays South Africa'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 6 titles tracked here, 1 lean left and 5 sit near the centre; Crosswire currently lists no right-leaning outlet in South Africa, so for a contrasting perspective it is worth reading one of these beside a title from another country.
Leaning groupings are approximate guides drawn from widely cited media-bias assessments — see the methodology.
Which are South Africa's main news outlets?
