- 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.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
China and Indonesia plan to hold joint naval exercises in waters to the east of Taiwan in mid August. China's Defense Ministry announced on Tuesday that the Type 054A frigate Honghe will participate in a navigation exercise with an Indonesian frigate. The announcement did not include specific coordinates, routes, or start and end dates. Indonesia's Defense Ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

- Outlets with a center lean reported the event as a factual military announcement, though one characterized the drills as an assertion of sovereignty in fraught waters.
