The Peru media landscape on Crosswire
Crosswire lays Peru'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 3 daily newspapers (El Comercio, La República and El Peruano), 1 business daily (Gestión) and 1 public broadcaster (RPP Noticias). The public-service broadcaster is RPP Noticias — the natural fixed point for a comparison, because a public remit is breadth rather than a party line.
Peru sits in South America, on Crosswire's Americas hub. By outlets tracked it is 5th of the 12 countries in South America and 19th of the 35 across the Americas, where the average is 4.7 outlets per country. Its neighbours in South America with hubs of their own are Brazil (5), Argentina (5), Chile (5), Colombia (5), Venezuela (5), Ecuador (5), Uruguay (5), Paraguay (5), Bolivia (5), Guyana (4) and Suriname (3).
