El Heraldo

Crosswire lists El Heraldo as Center within Colombia'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 Colombia, El Espectador is listed as Left-leaning, while Revista Semana and El Colombiano are listed as Right-leaning — so you can open El Heraldo beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

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