Is Jakarta Globe left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

Crosswire lists Jakarta Globe as Center within Indonesia'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.

Read Jakarta Globe beside another title from Indonesia and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Digital-native outlets reorder their front pages continuously in response to reader behaviour, so Jakarta Globe may look different an hour from now — reload it alongside a print-cycle title and you can see which stories have staying power and which are traffic spikes. Because Jakarta Globe is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Indonesia title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
