Diena

Crosswire lists Diena as Center within Latvia'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. In Latvia, Latvijas Avīze is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open Diena beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read Diena beside another title from Latvia and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two Latvia 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 Diena's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because Diena is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Latvia title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
