Is Times of India left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

Crosswire lists Times of India as Center within India'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 India, The Hindu is listed as Left-leaning — so you can open Times of India beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read Times of India beside another title from India and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two India 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 Times of India's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because Times of India is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning India title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
