De Groene Amsterdammer

De Groene Amsterdammer is generally regarded as left-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments of the Netherlands' press. In the Netherlands, NOS and Financieele Dagblad are listed as Centrist, while WNL is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open De Groene Amsterdammer beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read De Groene Amsterdammer beside another title from the Netherlands and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Weeklies work on a longer cycle than dailies, so De Groene Amsterdammer is usually arguing about the week's events rather than reporting them first — its front page is a better guide to interpretation than to breaking news. Because De Groene Amsterdammer is listed as left-leaning, the sharpest contrast is usually a right-leaning title from the Netherlands on the same morning: the facts rarely differ, but which consequence is treated as the story often does.
