ABC

ABC is generally regarded as right-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments of Spain's press. In Spain, elDiario.es and Público are listed as Left-leaning, while El País and El Mundo are listed as Centrist — so you can open ABC beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read ABC beside another title from Spain and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two Spain dailies covering the same day will usually agree on the facts and differ on the ordering: which story is worth the top of the page, how the headline characterises it, and which follow-ups get space. Those are ABC's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because ABC is listed as right-leaning, the sharpest contrast is usually a left-leaning title from Spain on the same morning: the facts rarely differ, but which consequence is treated as the story often does.
