Ziarul de Gardă

Crosswire lists Ziarul de Gardă as Center within Moldova'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.

Read Ziarul de Gardă beside another title from Moldova and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two dailies from Moldova 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 Ziarul de Gardă's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because Ziarul de Gardă is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning title from Moldova 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.
