- 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.

World No. 20 Alex Eala began her Canadian Open campaign with a 6-1, 4-6, 6-2 victory over American Alycia Parks. The win follows Eala's recent first WTA 500 title at the Mubadala DC Open in Washington. The match took place at the Sobeys Stadium in Toronto before a large crowd of Filipino fans. Eala, the 25th seed, received a first round bye and will now face another American, Caty McNally, in the round of 32. In addition to singles, Eala is competing in doubles as a wild card pair with Venus Williams. Following the match, Eala expressed her gratitude to her supporters and her pride in being Filipino. While both reports focus on her victory and the crowd support, a center left source frames the win as a redemption match because Eala had previously lost to Parks at the Australian Open in January.
