Is Les Dépêches de Brazzaville left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

Crosswire lists Les Dépêches de Brazzaville as Center within the Republic of the Congo'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 Les Dépêches de Brazzaville beside another title from the Republic of the Congo and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two the Republic of the Congo 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 Les Dépêches de Brazzaville's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because Les Dépêches de Brazzaville is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning the Republic of the Congo title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
