Is Foroyaa left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

Foroyaa is generally regarded as left-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments of the Gambia's press. In the Gambia, The Point and The Standard are listed as Centrist — so you can open Foroyaa beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read Foroyaa beside another title from the Gambia and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two the Gambia 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 Foroyaa's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because Foroyaa is listed as left-leaning, the sharpest contrast is usually a right-leaning title from the Gambia on the same morning: the facts rarely differ, but which consequence is treated as the story often does.
