Business and financial dailies
Crosswire tracks 30 business dailies across 29 countries. Every one has a live front page you can open beside another outlet and read side by side.
What a business dailie is, and why it reads differently
Business dailies serve a professional and investor readership, and rank the day by market consequence rather than political salience. The result is a front page that regularly leads on something the general press has buried on an inside page — a rate decision, a supply contract, a regulatory filing — and describes shared events in the language of cost, risk and exposure rather than fairness or outrage.
How to read a business dailie in a comparison
Reading a business daily beside a general title from the same country is the fastest way to see that news judgement is a choice rather than a given. The same policy will often appear on both front pages under headlines that share no vocabulary at all. Neither is wrong; they are answering different questions for different readers, and seeing that difference stated plainly is more instructive than any amount of argument about bias.
