Is Island Sun left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists Island Sun as Center within the Solomon Islands' 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 Island Sun beside another title from the Solomon Islands and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two the Solomon Islands dailies 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 Island Sun's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because Island Sun is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning the Solomon Islands title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
