UN News
United NationsUN News is the news service of the United Nations, run from New York, and reports on the work of the organisation and on international crises. Its headlines are led by Palestine and the wider Levant, Sudan and Ukraine, followed by the United States, Iran, East Africa, Afghanistan and Yemen. Society, diplomacy and security make up most of the mix, with health and environment notable and economy small. Its stance reads consistently supportive of the United Nations as an institution.
Political leaning and stance
UN News headlines are supportive of the United Nations in every month measured, presenting UN officials' statements, warnings and condemnations as authoritative and giving prominence to the organisation's peacekeeping and humanitarian role. This is the institutional voice of an official UN outlet, and the data shows no critical framing of the organisation. The tone is factual rather than celebratory, and the UN is the only entity with enough headlines to measure. This is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
