- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every source for this story reports from Germany.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
A 19 year old German national died on Friday afternoon after falling 40 meters in a climbing garden in Kals, located at the Großglockner in Austria. The Tirol State Police Directorate reported that the exact cause of the accident remains unclear. An autopsy has been ordered, and police have not released specific details regarding the climber's hometown.
This incident follows two other recent fatal accidents involving hikers from the Sauerland region in Tirol. One week prior, a 36 year old man died after losing his balance on a narrow path and falling 50 to 100 meters while hiking the Mörchnerscharte in the Zillertaler Alps. Additionally, a 74 year old man died after falling over rock walls in the Venediger mountain group in East Tirol; investigators believe he also fell during his descent.
