Analysis / Bias
Cleveland Scene covers local arts, food, culture, music, entertainment, and news for the Cleveland Metro Area. Local news is generally reported via staff writers, with some in-depth pieces. Straight news uses minimally loaded words such as this: The Nauti Mermaid Has Closed After Nearly 20 Years in Business. News stories are generally sourced through quotes, first-hand accounts, or hyperlinks.
Editorially, Cleveland Scene leans strongly left with progressive opinion/news pieces such as these: While In Effect, Ohio’s Abortion Ban Led to Chaos, Suffering, and Worse Health Care, Doctor Says and Foiled Plot Against Michigan Governor Shows Far-Right Domestic Terrorism is a Threat — And the Calls Are Coming From Inside the White House. Generally, story selection moderately favors the left, while opinion-oriented pieces use strong emotional wording to denigrate the right. Most information is sourced properly.
