  • 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.

Symbolic funerals are being held in Nepal for individuals feared lost, although some missing tourists have since made contact. In morgues, bodies are accumulating and storage capacities are reaching saturation. Relatives of the missing are visiting hospitals, consulting survivor lists, and scrutinizing photos of unidentified bodies as the hope of finding survivors diminishes.
