- 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.

Chelsea have signed 33 year old Argentinian goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa on a three year contract. British media reports indicate the transfer fee was 7.5 million pounds, which is approximately 10 million dollars. Martinez, a 2022 World Cup winner, returns to London where he previously began his professional career with Arsenal.
Martinez is expected to compete for the starting position with Robert Sanchez. Sanchez has faced criticism following a 3 to 2 victory over Fulham in the Premier League opening match. Martinez expressed his passion for the game and his desire to bring a winning mentality to the club in a statement published on Chelsea's website.
The move follows a period of significant transition for Aston Villa. The club recently signed Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, and several other players have departed, including Lucas Digne, Youri Tielemans, and Morgan Rogers. Martinez was a key figure in Villa's recent success, including their Europa League victory last season.
Reporting on the transfer varied slightly in framing. Center left sources highlighted that Martinez had been agitating for a move for two summers and mentioned a collapsed deal with Juventus. Center sources focused more on his international accolades, including his Copa America titles and his role in Argentina's success on the world stage.
