Is The News left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists The News as Center within Pakistan'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. In Pakistan, ARY News is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open The News beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.
Read The News beside another title from Pakistan and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two Pakistan 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 The News's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because The News is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Pakistan title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
