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 Italy.

Mount Etna has experienced a new eruption featuring the opening of a new vent. According to the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), a new eruptive mouth opened in the Valle del Bove at an altitude of approximately 2,550 meters. Other reports noted a sudden cloud of gas and ash at about 2,360 meters. Lava flows have reached the Valle del Leone, an uninhabited area located at roughly 2,700 meters. The activity has been documented via drone footage and videos filmed by tourists and volcanologists accompanied by guides. While a center lean source focused on the technical observation of the vent and gas clouds, a center right source framed the event as a spectacular display that fascinates onlookers.
