- 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.
Thick haze has blanketed parts of South Kalimantan due to forest and land fires burning on peatlands. The South Kalimantan Forestry Service linked the reduced visibility and disruption of resident activities to these fires. Meanwhile, organizers of the Singapore Grand Prix are preparing for possible haze disruptions during the F1 race. The Meteorological Service Singapore stated that fires in Kalimantan and Sumatra could send smoke toward Singapore during the dry season, which is expected to be hotter and drier due to El Nino. The Singapore GP stated that haze is included in its contingency plan and that organizers will coordinate with government agencies if air quality impacts public health, visibility, or race operations.
