- 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.

Efforts to provide play spaces for children have been established at shelters following the Kumamoto earthquake. These spaces are intended to help children process emotions that they may struggle to express in words. However, reports from a shelter at the Municipal Second Junior High School in Yatsushiro City highlight ongoing difficulties. At this location, children have been seen playing games in corners of the facility while parents struggle with work and childcare duties. One ten year old girl reported that her mother is fully occupied with a three year old sibling because nurseries have not fully reopened.
