As online news media continues to grow, it is becoming increasingly important to check that the way information is presented is fair and unbiased. The goal of this thesis is to explore and identify features that are indicative of political stance in Estonian news media. This is done by describing the relevance of political stance detection and outlining the existing works and approaches in this field. Additionally, an exhaustive analysis of the existing features used for stance detection in English is conducted, and novel features specifically for Estonian news media are proposed.
