- 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 marked the 50th anniversary of the death of Mao Zedong, the founder of the People's Republic, on Wednesday. In his hometown square, thousands of youth gathered to express enthusiasm and repeated the phrase "Long live" late into the night. While the event was marked by these displays of support, reports indicate that Mao's legacy and the Cultural Revolution continue to influence the future of China.
How each side framed it
