- 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.
President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria ordered the army and other security forces on Tuesday to launch a rescue operation following a mass kidnapping. The incident occurred last week during an attack on a mosque in Niger State, located in the west of the country. Residents report that 600 people, including women, children, and the elderly, were abducted. While center and center left sources focused on the rescue operation and the scale of the abduction, a center source framed the event as an exposure of security failings.
