- 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.
Audi has introduced a new compact electric vehicle, the A2 e-tron, as part of a strategy to increase sales in Europe. The vehicle is a return of the A2 model, which is now updated for the modern era with a focus on efficiency. While the center lean coverage presents the launch as a bid to boost sales, the center right lean coverage frames the move as a necessity for the company to navigate a period of crisis and malaise.
