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.

Great Britain's Amy Hunt won the 100m gold medal at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham with a time of 11.00 seconds. This victory marks the first senior international title of the 24 year old's career. Poland's Ewa Swoboda took silver in 11.02 seconds, and Belgium's Delphine Nkansa earned bronze in 11.06 seconds. Hunt, a Cambridge graduate, overcame a slow start to move from seventh place at the 10m mark to first place in the second half of the race. The win follows a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games two weeks prior and a world 200m silver in Tokyo last year. Hunt's career has previously been hindered by injuries, including a ruptured quad muscle in 2022. She now aims to add further medals in the 200m and both the women's and mixed 4x100m relays. In other events, Britain won silver in the mixed 4x400m relay, while Norway took gold. Defending champion Dina Asher Smith failed to reach medal contention. Hunt attributed her success to her strength in the final stretch and a premonition that she would win on her home track.
