Analysis / Bias
The Newcastle World covers local news for the Newcastle area through reporters with minimal bias, such as this Gateshead flyover: Reinforcement work begins on structure after December closure. 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 Associated Press.
Editorially, story selection and op-eds are reasonably balanced and reflect both sides. Generally, the Newcastle World is fact-based and presents a minimal bias in reporting.
