Is Financieele Dagblad left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Financieele Dagblad is listed as Center on Crosswire: like most business and financial dailies it is read across the political spectrum, with an editorial line defined more by markets than by party politics. In the Netherlands, NRC and De Groene Amsterdammer are listed as Left-leaning, while WNL is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open Financieele Dagblad beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.
Read Financieele Dagblad beside another title from the Netherlands and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Business dailies rank stories by market consequence rather than political salience, so Financieele Dagblad will often lead on something the general press buries — and describe the same policy in the language of cost and risk rather than fairness. Because Financieele Dagblad is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning title from the Netherlands either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
