The short answers

Is Neue Zürcher Zeitung biased?

Is Neue Zürcher Zeitung left or right?

Is Neue Zürcher Zeitung reliable?

The factuality data this site ingests describes Neue Zürcher Zeitung as high factuality. It reaches us without a named assessor, so it is an unattributed rating rather than our verdict. It does not guarantee that every report is correct.

Who says so

The lean above is carried in the coverage data this site ingests, which names no rater for it. We publish it because it is what the rest of the site groups Neue Zürcher Zeitung on, and we will not present it as an assessment by anyone in particular until we hold one.

How reliably it reports fact

A rating of the newsroom in general, by others, and a different thing from the Trust score we publish on each story, which judges one piece of reporting.

High factuality

The rating above reaches us without a named assessor, and is published as that rather than as anyone’s verdict.

4 of those reports were paywalled or blocked to us. Our reading of this outlet is built on the 0 we could open, not on everything it published.

On 1 of those stories, outlets rated right were largely absent from the coverage and Neue Zürcher Zeitung ran the story anyway.

Across the 4 stories of ours where at least three of the reports we listed carried a time, another outlet was always ahead of Neue Zürcher Zeitung: its report arrived a median of 35 hours after the earliest one we logged.

Measured 5 August 2026. Last seen in a coverage list 5 August 2026.

Stories we have seen it on

Every rating on this page is a named third party’s published work, republished with its author and, where one exists, a link to it. Our own coverage record is the section we measure ourselves. Neither is a judgement of any individual report: those are scored story by story, and the reasoning is on our methodology page.
