ANSA
ItalyANSA is Italy's national news agency, based in Rome, founded in 1945 and organised as a cooperative. Its English-language headlines concentrate on Italy and southern Europe, followed by the European Union, the United States, the Balkans and Germany. Politics and diplomacy take the largest share, with economy and society behind and security in a smaller role. Its stance reads favourable toward Italy's leaders, neutral toward the EU, and at times critical of Donald Trump.
Political leaning and stance
ANSA's headlines are consistently favourable toward Giorgia Meloni, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani and President Sergio Mattarella, whom they quote as authoritative voices, usually without distancing language. Italy as a country is treated as neutral to broadly favourable, and the European Union is covered in neutral institutional terms. Toward the United States the stance is mostly neutral; Donald Trump draws sharper criticism in some periods, including a strongly hostile reading in spring, while Marco Rubio is treated respectfully. This is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
Based on headlines from January 2026 to August 2026.
