Why

  • The average slant of articles with a recognisable direction is −1.1 (n=29). Of the 29 articles, 27 lean left (7 at −2, 20 at −1) and only 2 lean right. This points mainly to a moderate, centre-left slant rather than an extreme one.
  • Tone toward the government is clearly negative (−0.85, n=39), while toward the opposition it is positive (+0.63, n=30). Headlines more often have the opposition as subject (20) than the government (10).
  • In news texts the author expresses his own critical judgements of the government without attribution to a source. This is consistent with the high commentary index in news (2.17), although opinion articles are only 4%.
  • There is loaded and sarcastic language against New Democracy and the prime minister (loaded_language 2.37).
  • Actions of the opposition (PASOK, Tsipras, ELAS) are framed favourably or passed on without counterargument.
  • Foreign coverage frames right-wing governments and the suppression of demonstrations negatively, which is consistent with a left-leaning perspective.
  • There are also counterbalancing elements. Sources from government and opposition are equal (34/34), and independent sources predominate (59). Some texts faithfully convey the government position or follow the national line on Greek-Turkish relations. For this reason the slant is assessed as centre-left rather than left.
