  • 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 source for this story reports from France.

Météo-France has placed seventy-eight departments under orange heatwave vigilance on Wednesday, an increase from forty-three departments on Tuesday. Temperatures are reaching up to 39 degrees Celsius in some locations, and this episode of high heat is expected to last for several days. In response to the conditions, vacationers are taking precautions by seeking shade and using sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, light clothing, and parasols.
