The National
Papua New Guinea's largest-circulation English-language daily, published in Port Moresby since 1993. Owned by Malaysian timber and media group Rimbunan Hijau, it covers national politics, business, resource industries, sport and regional Pacific affairs, with correspondents across the provinces. Alongside the Post-Courier it is one of the two dominant print voices in PNG.

Is The National left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
The National is positioned toward the editorial center of Papua New Guinea's media spectrum, or its orientation is mixed or not consistently classified by the major media-bias assessments. Crosswire groups Papua New Guinea outlets into left, center and right so you can read the same day's events from more than one vantage point: seeing The National beside outlets of a different orientation makes editorial choices — which stories lead, which framing is used, what gets omitted — far easier to spot than reading any single source alone.
Leanings shown on Crosswire are approximate editorial orientations drawn from widely cited media-bias assessments (such as AllSides, Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check) and from each outlet's reputation. They are offered to help you read the same story from different perspectives — not as definitive or exhaustive judgements. Where a confident rating was unavailable, an outlet is shown as centrist.
