- 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 European Athletics Championships in Birmingham are entering their final weekend of competition with several medals still at stake. The event concludes on Sunday with the men's 4x400 meter relay final scheduled for 22:50. The Hungarian men's 4x400 meter relay team has qualified for this final after setting a new national record of 3:01.24. They entered the final with the fifth fastest time overall.
