  • 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.

Every source for this story reports from Germany.

Political activity is increasing in Saxony Anhalt as candidates and activists prepare for upcoming elections. In Wernigerode, Sven Schulze of the CDU is campaigning while utilizing the help of Markus Söder. Meanwhile, Hannes Kreschel, a former AfD voter, is engaging with supporters of the AfD at campaign events to reach undecided voters and highlight contradictions. During one of these interactions, Kreschel was ordered to leave the premises.
