- 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.
At least 11 people were killed and six others injured after an avalanche struck a group of 33 climbers in Russia's Kabardino-Balkaria region in the North Caucasus. The avalanche broke loose from Mount Mizhirgi around 5 p.m. local time on Sunday, September 6. Ten climbers managed to descend the mountain safely on their own. As of Monday morning, six people remained missing. Emergency services reported that more than 50 rescuers are involved in the search and rescue operation. These efforts are being hampered by difficult terrain and the risk of further avalanches. Mount Mizhirgi is one of the highest peaks in the region and is known for technically difficult climbing routes.
