El Peruano

Crosswire lists El Peruano as Center within Peru'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 Peru, La República is listed as Left-leaning, while El Comercio is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open El Peruano beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

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