Is 1News left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists 1News as Center within New Zealand's media spectrum — the grouping it uses both for genuinely centrist titles and for outlets the major media-bias assessments do not place consistently on one side.
Read 1News beside another title from New Zealand and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Broadcast newsrooms build around what can be shown and who can be booked, so 1News's online front page tends to track its on-air running order — watch which stories carry video and which are text-only. Because 1News is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning New Zealand title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
