  • 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.

No. 2 seed Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan defeated 13th seed Naomi Osaka 6-1, 6-4 in the fourth round of the U.S. Open on Monday. The match lasted 66 minutes. Rybakina, who won the Australian Open earlier this year, will face Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen of China in the quarterfinals. If Rybakina wins that match, she will secure the world No. 1 ranking. Osaka, a two time U.S. Open champion, stated that she was sad she could not achieve her goals but noted that she is learning to handle losses differently. Following losses by Eri Hozumi, Andreja Klepac, Miyu Kato, and Wu Fang-hsien, Japan no longer has any players remaining in the singles or doubles draws.
