El Comercio

El Comercio is generally regarded as right-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments of Peru's press. In Peru, La República is listed as Left-leaning, while Gestión and RPP Noticias are listed as Centrist — so you can open El Comercio beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read El Comercio beside another title from Peru and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two Peru 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 El Comercio's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because El Comercio is listed as right-leaning, the sharpest contrast is usually a left-leaning title from Peru on the same morning: the facts rarely differ, but which consequence is treated as the story often does.
