Pasaxon

Pasaxon, meaning 'The People', is the central organ of the ruling Lao People's Revolutionary Party and one of Laos's principal daily newspapers. Published in Lao from Vientiane, it carries party directives, government policy coverage and national news, and its front page reflects the official line in a country where all media operate under state control.

Is Pasaxon left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

Crosswire lists Pasaxon as Center within Laos' 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 Pasaxon beside another title from Laos and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two Laos 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 Pasaxon's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because Pasaxon is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Laos title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
