La Jornada

La Jornada is generally regarded as left-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments of Mexico's press. In Mexico, El Universal and Milenio are listed as Centrist, while Reforma is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open La Jornada beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

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