- 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.

Every source for this story reports from India.
Several top schools in Delhi were evacuated on Tuesday morning after receiving bomb threats via email. The threats targeted institutions including the British School, Sanskriti School, and Sardar Patel Vidyalaya. The alerts were received between 10.30 am and 10.45 am, prompting school authorities to move students to safety as a precautionary measure.
Delhi Police, bomb detection and disposal squads, dog squads, and the Delhi Fire Services responded to the scene to conduct extensive anti sabotage checks. One report noted that the threat emails were written in Punjabi. Following the searches, the threats were declared a hoax, as police stated that nothing suspicious had been found. Authorities are currently reviewing the emails to identify the sender.
At Sardar Patel Vidyalaya, the threats coincided with the first day of half yearly examinations. The school informed parents that while middle school students had finished their tests, a decision regarding the remaining senior school examinations would be made after further assessment of the situation.
