Is Mehr News Agency left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Mehr News Agency is listed as Center on Crosswire: news agencies supply reporting to outlets across the whole spectrum, which rewards a deliberately neutral news style. In Iran, Tehran Times and Press TV are listed as Right-leaning — so you can open Mehr News Agency beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.
Read Mehr News Agency beside another title from Iran and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Agency copy is written to be resold to outlets across the spectrum, so Mehr News Agency is a useful baseline: compare its plain account of an event with how partisan titles in Iran headline the same wire story, and the framing each adds becomes visible by subtraction. Because Mehr News Agency is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Iran title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
