El Mostrador

El Mostrador is generally regarded as left-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments — a stance that shapes which stories this digital-native outlet chooses to pursue. In Chile, Radio Bío-Bío and Cooperativa are listed as Centrist, while El Mercurio and La Tercera are listed as Right-leaning — so you can open El Mostrador beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read El Mostrador beside another title from Chile and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Digital-native outlets reorder their front pages continuously in response to reader behaviour, so El Mostrador may look different an hour from now — reload it alongside a print-cycle title and you can see which stories have staying power and which are traffic spikes. Because El Mostrador is listed as left-leaning, the sharpest contrast is usually a right-leaning title from Chile on the same morning: the facts rarely differ, but which consequence is treated as the story often does.
