May 2026 editorial profile for News24. Below: how this outlet framed the actors and regions it covered most in May 2026. Tap any tile to jump to the detailed card.
South Africa25 titles0Reportorial“mixed institutional coverage”
Patterns
- reports on government and party actions neutrally
- covers corruption and legal cases without editorializing
- includes positive economic and business news
- highlights political infighting and scandals
Caveats
The entity is a country, not a single actor; coverage spans government, business, crime, and politics with no consistent evaluative stance toward 'ZA' as a whole. Positive trade and business stories balance negative corruption and political turmoil stories.
United States25 titles-1Skeptical“critical but not uniformly hostile”
Patterns
- foregrounds Trump administration controversies and conflicts
- uses distancing or critical framing for US actions
- highlights US legal and political turmoil
- includes neutral reporting of US official actions
Caveats
The outlet's stance toward the US as a country is skeptical, focusing on Trump-era disputes, legal cases, and foreign policy clashes. However, several headlines report US actions neutrally (e.g., #2, #10, #23), and the entity is a nation, not a single actor, so the stance is mildly negative rather than hostile. The coverage is mixed but leans critical.
Representative headlines
- →FRIDAY BRIEFING | The Great Trump Trek: The expanded, unexplained Afrikaner ‘refugee’ quota
- →US Senate eventually passes war-powers resolution in rare Trump rebuke over Iran conflict
- →US indicts ex-Cuba leader Raúl Castro on murder, fuelling Trump takeover speculation
- →US Secretary of State Marco Rubio ‘has simply chosen to lie’ about oil blockade, says Cuba
TRUMP21 titles-1Skeptical“critical but not hostile”
Patterns
- frames Trump as a source of conflict and controversy
- uses distancing verbs like 'vows', 'fumes', 'takes potshots'
- highlights opposition and rebukes (Senate rebuke, Xi warning, Iran rejection)
- includes negative associations (Epstein connection, 'slush fund', shooting suspect motivation)
Caveats
Headline 12 is neutral-to-positive about Trump's hold on MAGA, and several headlines report factual actions without evaluative language. However, the overall selection emphasises conflict, opposition, and scandal, suggesting a skeptical editorial stance toward Trump.
