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

Pravda is generally regarded as left-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments of Slovakia's press. In Slovakia, SME and Aktuality are listed as Centrist — so you can open Pravda beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read Pravda beside another title from Slovakia and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two dailies from Slovakia 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 Pravda's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because Pravda is listed as left-leaning, the sharpest contrast is usually a right-leaning title from Slovakia on the same morning: the facts rarely differ, but which consequence is treated as the story often does.
