  • 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.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez have married in a private civil ceremony in Cascais, a coastal town in western Portugal near Lisbon. The wedding was described by the Brunswick Group, the public relations firm representing the 41 year old soccer star, as a private and intimate moment attended by their five children. The couple confirmed the news on Instagram by sharing a photo of their hands wearing gold wedding rings, accompanied by the caption "C♡G".

The couple met approximately ten years ago in Madrid while Rodriguez was working as a sales assistant at a Gucci store. They share two daughters, and Ronaldo has three other children from previous relationships. The wedding follows a period of intense speculation in the Portuguese press, which had led hundreds of fans and journalists to travel to Ronaldo's birthplace of Funchal on the island of Madeira. Those crowds discovered the rumors were incorrect when they arrived at a wedding for a completely different, unknown couple.

Ronaldo is a five time world player of the year who recently played in his record tying sixth World Cup for Portugal. His Saudi team, Al Nassr, is scheduled to begin its domestic season this Saturday.
