- 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.

Heavy rain hit Toyama and Ishikawa prefectures on Thursday, leading to overflowing rivers and the isolation of approximately 270 households across five districts. The weather agency had previously urged residents to evacuate to ensure their safety, and level 5 heavy rain special warnings were issued for both prefectures. In Hakui City, Ishikawa Prefecture, residents experienced power outages and road closures caused by fallen trees and landslides. While warnings were later downgraded, some residents expressed anxiety and exhaustion as they waited for water levels to recede.
