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

Crosswire lists Politika as Center within Serbia'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 Serbia, Danas is listed as Left-leaning — so you can open Politika beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

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