Is Addis Standard left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists Addis Standard as Center within Ethiopia'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 Addis Standard beside another title from Ethiopia and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Weeklies work on a longer cycle than dailies, so Addis Standard is usually arguing about the week's events rather than reporting them first — its front page is a better guide to interpretation than to breaking news. Because Addis Standard is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Ethiopia title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
