Is Botswana Daily News left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists Botswana Daily News as Center within Botswana'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 Botswana Daily News beside another title from Botswana and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two Botswana dailies covering the same day will usually agree on the facts and differ on the ordering: which story is worth the top of the page, how the headline characterises it, and which follow-ups get space. Those are Botswana Daily News's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because Botswana Daily News is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Botswana title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
