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