Index

Crosswire lists Index as Center within Hungary'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 Hungary, 444 and Telex are listed as Left-leaning, while Origo and Magyar Nemzet are listed as Right-leaning — so you can open Index beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read Index beside another title from Hungary and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. A portal front page is part newsroom and part aggregator, so on Index the editorial signal is in the ordering and in which syndicated stories get promoted next to the original reporting — read it beside a single-newsroom title and the difference in what each chooses to carry is immediate. Because Index is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning title from Hungary either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
