TaiwanPlus

TaiwanPlus is listed as Center on Crosswire: as a public-service broadcaster its mandate is broad, balanced coverage rather than a party-political editorial line. In Taiwan, Taipei Times is listed as Left-leaning — so you can open TaiwanPlus beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read TaiwanPlus beside another title from Taiwan 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 TaiwanPlus's front page and a commercially funded one is often less about opinion than about what each considers newsworthy in the first place. Because TaiwanPlus is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning title from Taiwan 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.
