How Crosswire groups Taipei Times
Crosswire groups Taipei Times as Left-leaning for comparisons within Taiwan's directory. This is an approximate Crosswire label, not a verified rating of its individual articles or a claim that every journalist shares one position. In Taiwan, Focus Taiwan and Taiwan News are listed as Centrist — so you can open Taipei Times beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.
Compare Taipei Times with another outlet from Taiwan covering the same event and edition. Record the headline, publication time, named sources and links to original evidence. Similar leaning labels can still produce different coverage; a different label does not guarantee an independent source. Check the articles before interpreting a front-page difference as bias.
This is an approximate orientation, not a definitive judgement — and not a rating of quality or accuracy. Read how Crosswire classifies editorial leanings. This profile does not include an individual assessment citation. Page updated ; this is a content-change date, not a fresh fact-check of the outlet. Think this label is wrong? Suggest a correction.
