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.

Africa's top health body has warned that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is rapidly spreading beyond its epicenter. The epidemic has resulted in 3,310 deaths from 6,843 recorded cases. In response, the government launched a vaccination campaign fifteen days ago and now hopes to expand the effort to obtain up to 500,000 doses of the Everbo vaccine.
