- 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.
Swiss athlete Audrey Werro won the gold medal in the 800 meters at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham, defeating Keely Hodgkinson. Werro finished the race in 1:54.81 minutes, which surpassed the European Championship record from 1982. Femke Broeders-Bol finished in third place.
Werro reached the final after a jury decision following a fall in the semifinals. During the final, she took the lead after 300 meters and maintained it until the end of the race. The victory marks the fifth medal for Switzerland at these championships.
