Morgunblaðið

Founded in 1913, Morgunblaðið is a leading Icelandic daily newspaper headquartered in Reykjavík. Traditionally aligned with the center-right Independence Party, it has long championed individual liberty, private enterprise, and Western alignment. Though it historically functioned as an unofficial party organ, the paper asserted editorial independence by the 1980s. In 2009, following the financial crisis, the appointment of former Prime Minister Davíð Oddsson as co-editor shifted its stance further right, drawing criticism for prioritizing political interests. Despite digital competition, its online platform, mbl.is, remains a primary news source, maintaining the publication’s influential role in Icelandic civic discourse.

Republika has participated in China-Indonesia media cooperation initiatives, with its news editor attending the second China-Indonesia Media Forum organized by China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing in September 2024, where he stated that the media plays an important role “not only as a bridge but also as a game changer” in supporting Indonesia-China political-economic relations. Writing for The Interpreter at the Lowy Institute, one Indonesian researcher reported that a journalist for Republika received direct complaints from China’s Embassy in Jakarta after 2019 coverage of Xinjiang at the outlet reported that Uighur detainees in the region had been denied trials.

El Comercio

El Comercio, founded in May 1839, stands as Peru’s oldest newspaper and one of the oldest Spanish-language publications worldwide.

The newspaper survived a four-year closure during Chilean occupation (1879-1883) and later endured six years of military expropriation under Juan Velasco Alvarado’s regime (1974-1980). El Comercio maintains a circulation exceeding 100,000 and is characterized as conservative in its editorial outlook and oriented toward business interests.
