- 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 Spanish exclave of Ceuta is currently facing a surge of unauthorized migrants following a mass crossing of over 70,000 people from Morocco at the end of July. While arrival numbers have since decreased, authorities continue to struggle with outbreaks of criminality and violence. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has faced protests across Spain as the situation challenges European Union borders. A center-left source frames this crisis as a result of the EU setting a trap for itself through the lack of a common and effective migration policy, suggesting the union must instead cooperate with countries of origin. Separately, Germany is facing a potential electoral breakthrough for the far-right party Alternative for Germany in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. This could mark the first time a far-right party has formed a government since the Second World War.
