Is Hürriyet Daily News left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists Hürriyet Daily News as Center within Türkiye'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. In Türkiye, Cumhuriyet and Sözcü are listed as Left-leaning, while Daily Sabah and Yeni Şafak are listed as Right-leaning — so you can open Hürriyet Daily News beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.
Read Hürriyet Daily News beside another title from Türkiye and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two Türkiye 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 Hürriyet Daily News's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because Hürriyet Daily News is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Türkiye title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
