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.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the centenary celebrations of Delhi University's Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) on Saturday, September 5, 2026. During the event, the Prime Minister released a commemorative 100 rupee coin to mark the institution's 100th anniversary. He arrived at the college via the Delhi Metro, where he interacted with children and young people.
In his address, PM Modi praised the college for its academic excellence and for nurturing generations of leaders in business, public life, and society. He specifically referenced distinguished alumni such as economist Sanjeev Sanyal and the late union minister Arun Jaitley. Using a mix of traditional and modern language, he referred to the alumni as OG and used the term Dhurandhar to describe their impact.
This visit marks the Prime Minister's first return to the campus since 2013, when he visited as the Chief Minister of Gujarat. Earlier this year in April, he had met with the college's governing body and a delegation at his residence, where he released a special commemorative postage stamp.
Reporting on the event varied by political perspective. Outlets with a center and center-left lean highlighted the visit as part of the BJP's strategic outreach to Gen Z and the younger generation. Meanwhile, center-right coverage focused more heavily on the Prime Minister's specific praise for the alumni and the prestige of the institution.
