Is NBC PNG left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

NBC PNG is listed as Center on Crosswire: as a public-service broadcaster its mandate is broad, balanced coverage rather than a party-political editorial line.

Read NBC PNG beside another title from Papua New Guinea and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Public-service broadcasters usually carry a wider spread of civic, regional and cultural stories than commercial rivals, and lead less often on conflict or celebrity — so the gap between NBC PNG's front page and a commercially funded one is often less about opinion than about what each considers newsworthy in the first place. Because NBC PNG is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Papua New Guinea title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
