Is Roya News English left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

Crosswire lists Roya News English as Center within Jordan'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.

Read Roya News English beside another title from Jordan and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Broadcast newsrooms build around what can be shown and who can be booked, so Roya News English's online front page tends to track its on-air running order — watch which stories carry video and which are text-only. Because Roya News English is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning title from Jordan either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.

This is an approximate orientation, not a definitive judgement — and not a rating of quality or accuracy. Read how Crosswire classifies editorial leanings, including the sources behind each label. Directory last reviewed 2026-08-31. Think this label is wrong? Suggest a correction.
