Mihaaru
The Maldives' leading Dhivehi-language daily, launched in May 2016 by journalists from Haveeru after that paper, the country's oldest, was closed by court order. Based in Male, Mihaaru dominates domestic print and online readership with coverage of politics, the economy, island communities and sport, and also produces the English-language Edition.

Is Mihaaru left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Mihaaru is positioned toward the editorial center of the Maldives' media spectrum, or its orientation is mixed or not consistently classified by the major media-bias assessments. Crosswire groups Maldives outlets into left, center and right so you can read the same day's events from more than one vantage point: seeing Mihaaru beside outlets of a different orientation makes editorial choices — which stories lead, which framing is used, what gets omitted — far easier to spot than reading any single source alone.
Leanings shown on Crosswire are approximate editorial orientations drawn from widely cited media-bias assessments (such as AllSides, Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check) and from each outlet's reputation. They are offered to help you read the same story from different perspectives — not as definitive or exhaustive judgements. Where a confident rating was unavailable, an outlet is shown as centrist.
