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.

Norway plans to provide 85 billion kroner, approximately 9.1 billion dollars, in aid to Ukraine in 2027. This amount maintains the funding level Norway has provided since 2025 as part of a long term commitment known as the Nansen program, which runs through 2030. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre stated that the funding is necessary as Ukraine faces a difficult winter.
Of the proposed 85 billion kroner, 70 billion is designated for military purposes and 15 billion for civilian aid. Støre noted that while the sum is enormous, it is appropriate given the current situation in Ukraine. He emphasized that Norway aims to treat Ukraine with dignity by listening to their specific needs to ensure the aid is effective. Regarding air defense, Støre remarked that the primary challenge is the availability of equipment from other countries rather than a lack of funding.
The Norwegian government is expected to finalize the details of the budget proposal during a conference next week before presenting it to lawmakers.
