- 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.

Republican Representative Byron Donalds has won the nomination for governor of Florida, defeating Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins with 48 percent of the vote. Donalds, who has represented the Naples area in Congress since 2021, has received the endorsement of President Trump. He intends to enact the Trump agenda and conduct reviews of taxpayer funded programs similar to DOGE. He also proposes an Insurer Scorecard for comparing rates and requiring doctors to post cash prices for common services. David Jolly is the Democratic nominee for the race. Jolly, a former Republican, has expressed confidence in his chances, stating that the Democrats would win if the election were held tonight. Center right framing emphasizes the race as a defense of a successful model of conservative governance. Center left framing focuses on the party's future and the challenge of turning the governor's seat blue for the first time in decades.
