The Mexico media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays Mexico's front pages next to one another so you can see which stories lead where, how headlines are framed, and what one outlet foregrounds that another leaves out. The 5 titles tracked here span the spectrum — 1 we place on the left, 3 near the centre and 1 on the right — so a comparison can genuinely cross editorial lines rather than sampling one side twice.
By kind of outlet, the 5 titles break down as 4 daily newspapers (see all daily newspapers worldwide) and 1 business daily (El Financiero). Crosswire lists no public-service broadcaster for Mexico, so the fixed point in a comparison has to be a wire service or the most widely read daily instead.
Mexico sits in Mexico and Central America, on Crosswire's Americas hub. By outlets tracked it is 2nd of the 8 countries in Mexico and Central America and 15th of the 35 across the Americas, where the average is 4.7 outlets per country. Its neighbours in Mexico and Central America with hubs of their own are El Salvador (6), Guatemala (5), Honduras (5), Nicaragua (5), Costa Rica (5), Panama (5) and Belize (3).
