Analysis / Bias
In review, the Northwest Florida Daily News covers news, sports, weather, and crime in the Northwest Florida region. Local news is reported with minimal bias in wording such as this: Panama City Beach to partially reopen beaches Friday. Some articles are derived from USA Today, while national and international news is published via the Associated Press.
Editorially, we cannot find a record of Presidential endorsements. However, a thorough review of op-eds reveals moderate balance with more pieces favoring the left, such as this: ANOTHER VIEW: Put public health ahead of demands from protesters. Although some left-leaning bias is reflected in op-eds, there are opposing opinions as well. Therefore we rate them Least Biased.
