LEFT-CENTER BIAS

These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources.
- Overall, we rate Telegrafi.com as Left-Center Biased due to occasional progressive framing in foreign policy and political reporting. We also rate it High for factual accuracy, as it demonstrates editorial transparency, avoids sensationalism, and focuses heavily on real-time, regional news reporting.

There is no indication of direct state funding or ownership by a political group. Its contact page lists offices in Pristina.
Analysis / Bias
Telegrafi reports on a wide range of topics from a neutral to moderately progressive editorial perspective. Local reporting, such as “Pamje një ditë pas zjarrit në Emshir” (Footage one day after the fire in Emshir), provides straightforward, factual updates without political framing.
International stories occasionally reflect a left-leaning editorial tone, especially on matters of military intervention or foreign policy. For example, “Senati refuzon të kufizojë fuqitë ushtarake të Trumpit – Ai përsëri mundet ta sulmojë Iranin” critiques unchecked executive military power, and “Armëpushim në Lindjen e Mesme – MPJD: Jemi të gatshëm t’u përgjigjemi çdo kërkese nga qytetarët tanë në Izrael” reflects Kosovo’s diplomatic readiness with a humanitarian tone.
While the site includes some analysis and feature content, it does not appear to maintain a separate, labeled opinion section, and editorial bias is relatively minimal. Articles focus more on news delivery than political commentary.
