- 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.

New Democratic Party leader Kim Min-seok met with presidential aides on Tuesday and pledged to support the policy agenda of the Lee Jae Myung administration. During the meeting at the National Assembly, Kim met with presidential chief of staff Kang Hoon-sik and senior presidential secretary for political affairs Hong Ihk-pyo. The meeting occurred one day after Kim, a former Prime Minister, was elected as the party leader by defeating Rep. Jung Chung-rae.
Kim stated that the party will fully support the government and the president's policy direction while acting as a bridge to deliver public concerns to the government and Cheong Wa Dae. He expressed a commitment to communicating as a united team without barriers. Presidential chief of staff Kang Hoon-sik echoed these calls for cooperation, urging Kim to inform the presidential office of public concerns that the government might have overlooked in order to build a healthier relationship.
Analysts suggest that Kim's election may lead to stronger cooperation between the ruling party and the presidential office. This follows concerns from some pro-Lee members regarding former leader Jung Chung-rae, who they argued prioritized appealing to hard-line supporters over coordinating with the president on key issues.
