Analysis / Bias

The Bury Times covers local news for the Bury area through reporters with minimal bias, such as this Andy Burnham to check bus prices amid Bury tram disruption. Regarding sourcing, they rely on first-person accounts and large quotes, which is appropriate for a print publication.

National and international news is usually republished through reliable sources such as PA Media (national news agency for the UK and Ireland) and The Sunday Times.



Editorial, story selection, and op-eds are reasonably balanced and reflect both sides. Generally, the Bury Times is fact-based and presents a minimal bias in reporting.
