Is El Comercio (EC) left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists El Comercio (EC) as Center within Ecuador'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 Ecuador, El Telégrafo is listed as Left-leaning, while Teleamazonas is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open El Comercio (EC) beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.
Read El Comercio (EC) beside another title from Ecuador and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two Ecuador 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 (EC)'s editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because El Comercio (EC) is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Ecuador title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
