- 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.
Roy Burnham, the father of British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, has died at the age of 85. He had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease, which meant he was unaware that his son had become the prime minister. Roy Burnham previously worked as a telephone engineer and lived in a care facility. Following the death, the prime minister cancelled his appointments for today and tomorrow to be with his mother, Eileen, and the rest of his family. Mr. Burnham previously stated that his father would have been proud of his achievements and that the result belonged to the entire family.
