- 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 South Korea.
Former Democratic Party leader Jung Chung-rae won the party member primary in South Korea's southeast on Sunday. According to party officials, Jung received 46.65 percent of the vote in Busan, Ulsan, and South Gyeongsang Province, defeating rival Kim Min-seok, who received 43.85 percent. A third candidate, Song Young-gil, garnered 9.5 percent.
This victory follows a narrow loss for Jung on Saturday in the central Chungcheong region, where Kim won with 45.05 percent compared to Jung's 44.61 percent. That loss was viewed as a setback because the Chungcheong region is considered Jung's home turf.
The leadership race is characterized as a competition between Jung, who is aligned with the party's hard line wing, and Kim, who is a key political ally of President Lee Jae Myung. The Democratic Party will hold a national convention on August 17 to elect a new leader. The winner will oversee the nomination of candidates for the parliamentary elections in April 2028.
