Anadolu Agency
TurkeyAnadolu Agency is a Turkish state news agency headquartered in Ankara, founded in 1920. Its English-language service is dominated by international news: the United States, Iran and Israel receive the most attention, followed by Russia, the Levant and Palestine. Politics and security make up most of the output, with diplomacy the largest single subject and military affairs second. Its headlines are consistently critical of Israel and the United States, and favourable toward Turkey, Palestine and the United Nations.
Political leaning and stance
Over the whole measured period Anadolu Agency's headlines are consistently critical of Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu, in most months hostile in tone, and skeptical of the United States and Donald Trump. They are favourable toward Turkey and sympathetic toward Palestine, Lebanon, the United Nations and, for most of the period, Iran, whose official positions are often reported without distancing. Russia and Vladimir Putin are treated respectfully to neutrally, Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelenskyy sympathetically. The measurement works from the outlet's headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
