How Crosswire groups VG

Crosswire groups VG as Centrist for comparisons within Norway's directory. Center includes both centrist outlets and outlets for which the directory has no confident classification. It is not evidence that this outlet is neutral or more accurate. In Norway, Dagbladet is listed as Left-leaning — so you can open VG beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Compare VG with another outlet from Norway covering the same event and edition. Record the headline, publication time, named sources and links to original evidence. Similar leaning labels can still produce different coverage; a different label does not guarantee an independent source. Check the articles before interpreting a front-page difference as bias.

This is an approximate orientation, not a definitive judgement — and not a rating of quality or accuracy. Read how Crosswire classifies editorial leanings. This profile does not include an individual assessment citation. Page updated 2026-09-28; this is a content-change date, not a fresh fact-check of the outlet. Think this label is wrong?
