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