L'Express

Crosswire lists L'Express as Center within France's media spectrum — the grouping it uses both for genuinely centrist titles and for outlets the major media-bias assessments do not place consistently on one side. In France, Libération and Mediapart are listed as Left-leaning, while Le Figaro and Le Point are listed as Right-leaning — so you can open L'Express beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read L'Express beside another title from France and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Weeklies work on a longer cycle than dailies, so L'Express 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 L'Express is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning France title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
