Is Il Sole 24 Ore left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Il Sole 24 Ore 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. In Italy, Il Fatto Quotidiano is listed as Left-leaning, while Il Giornale is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open Il Sole 24 Ore beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.
Read Il Sole 24 Ore beside another title from Italy and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Business dailies rank stories by market consequence rather than political salience, so Il Sole 24 Ore 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 Il Sole 24 Ore is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Italy title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
