Standart

Standart is generally regarded as right-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments of Bulgaria's press. In Bulgaria, 24 Chasa and Dnevnik are listed as Centrist — so you can open Standart beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

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