Summarized from more than one independent rater, including AllSides and Ad Fontes Media. We do not rate outlets ourselves.
Founded in 1888 and owned since 2015 by the Japanese group Nikkei. Printed on distinctive salmon paper, it is read by senior business and political figures worldwide and takes a global rather than American view.
Its economics and international reporting are respected across the political spectrum, and it maintains a firm separation between news and its editorial line. Critics note that it writes for readers who already hold economic power, and that its instincts on trade and markets are liberal in the European sense, which maps awkwardly onto American categories.
