- 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 outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
Afghanistan has reached the five year anniversary of the Taliban's return to power and the fall of Kabul. Reports indicate that women and girls are facing a deepening crisis and are being erased from public life. One description characterizes the current state of Afghanistan as hell for women. The situation has led to calls for the recognition of gender apartheid as an international crime. Discussions surrounding the anniversary have also touched upon the legacy of the 20 year United States presence in the country and the chaotic nature of the U.S. withdrawal.
