GMA News

GMA News is the news division of GMA Network, one of the Philippines' two historically dominant broadcasters, owned by the publicly listed GMA Network Inc. Its programs and GMA News Online reach a nationwide mass audience in Filipino and English, and since rival ABS-CBN lost its broadcast franchise in 2020 it has held the largest free-to-air news reach.

How Crosswire groups GMA News

Crosswire groups GMA News as Centrist for comparisons within the Philippines' directory. Center includes both centrist outlets and outlets for which the directory has no confident classification. It is not evidence that this outlet is neutral or more accurate. In the Philippines, The Manila Times is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open GMA News beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Compare GMA News with another outlet from the Philippines covering the same event and edition. Record the headline, publication time, named sources and links to original evidence. Similar leaning labels can still produce different coverage; a different label does not guarantee an independent source. Check the articles before interpreting a front-page difference as bias.

This is an approximate orientation, not a definitive judgement — and not a rating of quality or accuracy. Read how Crosswire classifies editorial leanings. This profile does not include an individual assessment citation. Page updated 2026-09-28; this is a content-change date, not a fresh fact-check of the outlet. Think this label is wrong?
