- 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.

Poland's Defense Minister, Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, announced that the military recovered a drone from the Baltic Sea near the beach of Rusinowo, close to Jaroslawiec. A preliminary inspection indicates the device is a Russian military drone. Jacek Goryszewski, a spokesperson for the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces, stated that the equipment appears to be a Gerbera, which is a low cost, long range drone often used as a decoy or to carry explosives. Goryszewski noted that the drone may have drifted from international waters to the coast. The Operational Command also stated that no violations of national airspace had been detected since July 31, meaning the incident cannot currently be linked to a specific attack by the Russian Federation. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has warned that escalation by Russia is becoming a fact and that provocations may increasingly affect Polish territory. This follows reports of Russian drone strikes on September 13 targeting a gas station and a passenger train on the Kyiv Warsaw railway line. The Russian Embassy in Warsaw did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
