Is la diaria left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

la diaria is generally regarded as left-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments of Uruguay's press. In Uruguay, El País (UY) and El Observador (UY) are listed as Centrist — so you can open la diaria beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read la diaria beside another title from Uruguay and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two dailies from Uruguay 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 la diaria's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because la diaria is listed as left-leaning, the sharpest contrast is usually a right-leaning title from Uruguay on the same morning: the facts rarely differ, but which consequence is treated as the story often does.
