Is La Dernière Heure left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists La Dernière Heure as Center within Belgium's media spectrum — the grouping it uses both for genuinely centrist titles and for outlets the major media-bias assessments do not place consistently on one side.
Read La Dernière Heure beside another title from Belgium and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two dailies from Belgium 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 La Dernière Heure's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because La Dernière Heure is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning title from Belgium either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
