- 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.
OPEC has reduced its forecast for global oil demand growth in 2026 to 380,000 barrels per day. This represents the fifth consecutive downward revision by the group of producers. According to a monthly report, OPEC also increased its demand growth forecast for 2027. The organization continues to maintain that the impact on consumption since the start of the war in Iran has been smaller than predictions made by other entities, such as the International Energy Agency (IEA), which expects a decrease in demand for 2026.
