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.

India recently hosted the 18th BRICS summit in Delhi, where the expanded 11 member bloc adopted a unified joint declaration. The summit included discussions on trade, technology, industrial growth, and economic governance. Union Minister of State for Steel and Heavy Industries Bhupathiraju Srinivasa Varma briefed BJP leaders in Vijayawada on the proceedings, noting India's efforts to strengthen international relations and the country's growing global importance under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Reporting on the event differs by political perspective. A center right source frames the outcome as a diplomatic win and a pragmatic consolidation, noting that India steered the bloc toward a joint declaration by avoiding blame for geopolitical conflicts, though it suggests that deep divisions over the Middle East were merely papered over. Conversely, a center left source frames the event as a demonstration of India's progress and increasing influence on the global stage.
