El Universal · January 2026
January 2026 editorial profile for El Universal. Below: how this outlet framed the actors and regions it covered most in January 2026. Tap any tile to jump to the detailed card.
SHEINBAUM25 titles+1Constructive“respectful and authoritative”
Patterns
- quotes Sheinbaum as primary decision-maker
- frames her actions as proactive and diplomatic
- uses neutral-to-positive verbs like 'defiende', 'anuncia', 'alinea'
- includes external praise (Trump calling her 'maravillosa')
Caveats
Headline 5 mentions a 'regaño' (scolding) which could imply criticism, but overall the outlet treats Sheinbaum as a credible leader whose statements and actions are reported without distancing or delegitimising language.
United States25 titles-1Skeptical“skeptical and critical”
Patterns
- foregrounds Trump's threats and unilateral actions
- uses distancing verbs like 'dice', 'amenaza', 'plantea'
- highlights opposition and pushback from other actors
- frames US policy as aggressive or coercive
Caveats
The outlet often reports Trump's statements neutrally but selects headlines that emphasize conflict, threats, and resistance from other countries, suggesting a critical stance toward US actions under Trump. However, some headlines (e.g., 23) present Trump positively toward Mexico, and the entity is 'US' as a country, not just Trump, so the stance is mixed but leans negative.
TRUMP25 titles-1Skeptical“critical and skeptical”
Patterns
- reports threats and demands as aggressive actions
- highlights opposition and pushback from other leaders
- uses neutral verbs but frames Trump as a source of conflict
- includes negative consequences of Trump's policies
Caveats
Coverage is largely factual reporting of Trump's statements and actions, but the selection emphasizes confrontations, threats, and negative reactions from others, implying a critical stance. Headline 16 ('No es fácil decirle no a Trump') is slightly more editorialized. No outright hostile language, but consistent framing as a disruptive force.
Representative headlines
Mexico25 titles+1Constructive“supportive of government actions”
Patterns
- amplifies presidential statements without distancing
- foregrounds government successes against cartels
- frames sovereignty as defended by the entity
- opinion columns critical of other countries, not of MX
Caveats
Several headlines are opinion columns critical of Venezuela or domestic issues, but the outlet's own editorial voice toward MX as a country is positive, highlighting government achievements and quoting Sheinbaum authoritatively. The entity is the country, not a single leader, so the stance reflects treatment of Mexico's government and sovereignty.
Representative headlines
- →México aprieta al CJNG de “El Mencho”; suman 21 detenidos, entre operadores y sicarios, en arranque de 2026es
- →Sheinbaum responde a EU: “Hay resultados muy contundentes” contra cárteles mexicanoses
- →Sheinbaum afirma que independencia y soberanía de México no son negociables ante amenazas de Trump; "nunca nos subordinamos", respondees
Venezuela19 titles-1Skeptical“skeptical toward the Maduro regime”
Patterns
- uses distancing verbs like 'se declara' and 'dice' for Maduro officials
- frames Maduro's arrest as a fall or capture, not a legal process
- highlights opposition figures and critical voices (Corina Machado, AMLO's critics)
- references 'Tren de Aragua' and 'comunista' as negative associations
Caveats
The entity is VE (country), not just Maduro; coverage includes both critical framing of the Maduro government and neutral reporting on Delcy Rodríguez's diplomatic moves. Stance is skeptical toward the regime but not uniformly hostile to the country.
