- 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.

Pakistan were bowled out for 133 on the opening day of the third Test at Edgbaston on Wednesday. England captain Joe Root won the toss and chose to bowl in overcast conditions. England's pace attack claimed all ten wickets, led by Josh Tongue with 4 for 42, Ollie Robinson with 3 for 15, and Jofra Archer with 3 for 25. Pakistan's top five batters all failed to reach double figures, a feat that center-leaning coverage noted as a record for the first innings of a Test match. Saud Shakeel provided the most resistance among specialist batters with 43 runs, while Mohammad Abbas scored 21. Pakistan entered the match trailing the series 2-0, having suffered heavy defeats at Headingley and Lord's. Following the second Test, the Pakistan Cricket Board made significant changes by sacking head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and assistant Umar Gul, while sending home seven players and introducing four new faces, including three debutants. In response to the collapse, center-left sources described the batting displays as woeful and the team as reeling. Meanwhile, center-leaning coverage framed the performance as embarrassing and highlighted a lack of confidence and mental fatigue within the squad. England began their first innings with some struggle, falling to 35 for 2 by tea, with wickets taken by Mohammad Ali and Mohammad Abbas.
