Mediapool

Crosswire lists Mediapool as Center within Bulgaria'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 Bulgaria, Standart is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open Mediapool beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read Mediapool beside another title from Bulgaria and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Digital-native outlets reorder their front pages continuously in response to reader behaviour, so Mediapool may look different an hour from now — reload it alongside a print-cycle title and you can see which stories have staying power and which are traffic spikes. Because Mediapool is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning title from Bulgaria either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
