How Crosswire groups The Guardian Nigeria

Crosswire groups The Guardian Nigeria as Centrist for comparisons within Nigeria's 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.

Compare The Guardian Nigeria with another outlet from Nigeria 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.
