Is L'Echo left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
L'Echo 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.
Read L'Echo beside another title from Belgium and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Business dailies rank stories by market consequence rather than political salience, so L'Echo 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 L'Echo is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Belgium title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
