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 India.

One terrorist was killed on Friday during a joint operation conducted by the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and CRPF in a forested area of the Budgam district. The operation took place in Ashdar Gali following specific intelligence inputs. According to the Chinar Corps, security forces observed suspicious activity and engaged in a fierce exchange of gunfire after being fired upon. One AK rifle was recovered from the scene. The identity of the deceased terrorist has not yet been established. Security forces are continuing a search operation in the area for one or more additional terrorists believed to be trapped or hiding.
