Is PSM News left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

PSM News 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 PSM News beside another title from the Maldives 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 PSM News's front page and a commercially funded one is often less about opinion than about what each considers newsworthy in the first place. Because PSM News is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning the Maldives title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
