Sheffield Telegraph media bias and reliability

The short answers
Is Sheffield Telegraph biased?
The bias data this site ingests places Sheffield Telegraph as leaning right. It does not name the organisation that made that assessment, so we publish it as an unattributed rating and nothing more. An outlet rating describes a broad pattern in its output, not every article it publishes.
Is Sheffield Telegraph left or right?
The bias data this site ingests places Sheffield Telegraph as leaning right. It does not name the organisation that made that assessment, so we publish it as an unattributed rating and nothing more. In the three-way grouping used on story pages, that puts it under Right.
Is Sheffield Telegraph reliable?
We do not hold a factual-reliability assessment for Sheffield Telegraph. A political-leaning label would not answer that question on its own, so we do not infer reliability from left, centre or right.
What Sheffield Telegraph has been covering
Our account of each story, written from every outlet that ran it, with Sheffield Telegraph’s own report linked underneath.
The annual Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak between 12 and 13 August 2026, with up to 100 meteors per hour visible. A partial solar eclipse will occur on 12 August, offering a rare dual celestial event. Outlets varied in emphasis on timing, visibility, and the eclipse's coincidence.

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 Sheffield Telegraph 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.
We hold no factual-reliability rating for this outlet.

We have not seen Sheffield Telegraph cover a story that outlets rated right were largely absent from.

Other outlets rated the same way
Publishers carrying the same published leaning as Sheffield Telegraph, also publishing from United Kingdom, ordered by how often we have seen them on a story. Sharing a rating is not the same as being alike.
Think this page is wrong?
The leanings above are published by AllSides, Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check, and we republish them rather than make them. If you think one is misapplied, the strongest place to say so is with the organisation that made it, and every verdict here links to their page.
What we are responsible for is everything else: the ownership chain, where Sheffield Telegraph publishes from, which of our stories we have listed it on, and whether we have the right publisher at all. Tell us what is wrong and an editor reads it.
Report something wrong on this page
Anything we correct is written up in the public corrections log. We do not publish reader votes as a rating, because an unattributed rating is the thing this site exists to argue against.
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.
