The Art Newspaper media bias and reliability
The bias data this site ingests places The Art Newspaper in the centre. It does not name the organisation that made that assessment, so we publish it as an unattributed rating and nothing more. We have seen it on 4 published stories of ours.
The short answers
Is The Art Newspaper biased?
The bias data this site ingests places The Art Newspaper in the centre. 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 The Art Newspaper left or right?
The bias data this site ingests places The Art Newspaper in the centre. 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 Centre.
Is The Art Newspaper reliable?
The factuality data this site ingests describes The Art Newspaper as very 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.
What The Art Newspaper has been covering
Our account of each story, written from every outlet that ran it, with The Art Newspaper’s own report linked underneath.
A naked, gold-plated statue of Donald Trump, titled 'Orange Plague' or 'King of Injustice', is on display in the European Parliament in Strasbourg. Created by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt, the sculpture depicts Trump on the shoulders of a man, holding a golf club. The exhibition was organised by Danish Left MEP Per Clausen and will remain until Thursday.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has called for the permanent return of the Parthenon Sculptures to Greece. Writing in The Guardian, he rejected loan proposals, comparing them to dismembering the Bayeux Tapestry. The British Museum stated its position remains unchanged.

The Bayeux Tapestry, a 70-meter-long embroidery from the 11th century, has arrived in London for an exhibition at the British Museum. Tickets have sold out for months, with the museum anticipating one million visitors before the exhibition closes in July 2027. The tapestry depicts the Norman conquest of England in 1066.

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 The Art Newspaper 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.
Very high factuality
The rating above reaches us without a named assessor, and is published as that rather than as anyone’s verdict.
Who owns it
We hold no ownership record for The Art Newspaper.

What we have seen ourselves
Counted across the stories this site has published, which is the only denominator a reader can check: every one of them has a page, and every page lists the reports it was written from.

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.
A blindspot is measured against one side of the spectrum. The Art Newspaper is rated centre, so there is no side for it to be counted against and we publish no figure here.
Across the 4 stories of ours where at least three of the reports we listed carried a time, another outlet was always ahead of The Art Newspaper: its report arrived a median of 33 hours after the earliest one we logged.
Measured 19 October 2026. Last seen in a coverage list 12 October 2026. Ratings pulled 1 October 2026.
Other outlets rated the same way
Publishers carrying the same published leaning as The Art Newspaper, 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 The Art Newspaper 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.
