- 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 Bharatiya Janata Party will launch a month-long campaign called Seva Sankalp Abhiyan beginning September 17 to commemorate Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 25 years in public life. BJP president Nitin Nabin announced the program on Wednesday, noting that October 7 marks the anniversary of Modi's 2001 swearing-in as the chief minister of Gujarat.
The outreach will include activities across 12 categories. These include a blood donation camp on September 17, known as Seva Diwas, and the Aashirwad Ka Diya program where party workers and welfare beneficiaries will light ceremonial lamps. Other planned events include bike rallies between Modi's birthplace of Vadnagar and his Varanasi constituency, human chain competitions, school drawing competitions, and plays. The party will also host a Seva First Innovation Challenge for youth and professionals, and a Seva Ki Kahani program encouraging social media posts about the prime minister's governance.
Nitin Nabin highlighted the prime minister's record, stating that India has moved from a state of policy paralysis and being one of the Fragile Five economies to becoming the fastest-growing major economy. He credited Modi with strengthening India's cultural heritage through projects like the Ram Mandir and Kashi Vishwanath, as well as making progress in ending Naxalism. A center-right source further emphasized specific achievements, citing the distribution of free vaccines to 200 crore people during the pandemic and pulling 25 crore people out of poverty.
