Is Armenpress left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Armenpress is listed as Center on Crosswire: news agencies supply reporting to outlets across the whole spectrum, which rewards a deliberately neutral news style.
Read Armenpress beside another title from Armenia and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Agency copy is written to be resold to outlets across the spectrum, so Armenpress is a useful baseline: compare its plain account of an event with how partisan titles in Armenia headline the same wire story, and the framing each adds becomes visible by subtraction. Because Armenpress is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning title from Armenia either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
