- 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.
An Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo has reached more than 5,000 cases and 2,325 deaths over a three month period. The outbreak is affecting six provinces and is described as the deadliest in the history of the country. The World Health Organization fears the virus could spread internationally as the outbreak outpaces response efforts at an unprecedented speed. Part of the population has shown defiance toward the response efforts.
