- 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.

The Central Elections Committee has decided that political parties may use real-time voting data on election day. Under this ruling, party appointed poll workers and observers are permitted to share information regarding which individuals have already voted. The committee specified that workers cannot share when a person voted and must destroy the data after the election. A lawyer for the Likud party described a previous ban on such tracking applications as a terror attack that would ruin the election. While a center leaning source describes the decision as a boon to Likud, a left leaning source frames the move as an overturn of a ban by a Netanyahu coalition led committee.
