Analysis / Bias
Novara Media publishes political news and commentary from a far-left-wing perspective. They also produce Youtube videos and podcasts. Novara Media promotes Luxury Communism, which comes from a manifesto book by Aaron Bastani. It argues that technology can be used to create a post-scarcity economy of widespread prosperity.
Articles and headlines under the news analysis category utilize emotional wording that favors the left, such as this Why Do We Still Fetishise Homeownership? This story is sourced from The Guardian and academic websites. In another report, A Prestigious London University Has Suspended Four Latinx Cleaners for Protesting Racist Pay, Falsely Accusing Them of Violence, they offer social media and video sourcing.
Editorially, Novara Media labels opinion content appropriately. Editorial positions strongly favor far-left perspectives such as promoting anti-capitalism, concern for climate change, and racial-social equality. While they frequently report negatively on conservatives, Covid Has Exposed Conservatives As Complete Idiots; they also believe the Labour Party does not do enough Why is Labour Broke? In general, news reporting is fact-based and one-sided, while opinion content is hyper-partisan in support of the Far-Left.
