BelTA
BelarusBelTA is the state news agency of Belarus, founded in 1918 and based in Minsk, publishing in English among other languages. Its feed is overwhelmingly about Belarus, with Russia, China, Central Asia and the United States far behind, and it leans to politics and diplomacy with a solid economy share. Its headlines are consistently favourable toward Belarus, its president and Russia.
Political leaning and stance
BelTA's headlines are consistently favourable toward Belarus and President Alexander Lukashenko, month after month. The tone is respectful and authoritative: his meetings, appointments and statements are foregrounded as routine governance, with neutral or positive verbs and no critical or distancing language. Russia is treated as a cooperative partner and a positive neighbour in the same register. The positive stance comes largely from what is selected and how it is framed rather than from overt praise. The stance is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
