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.

Pope Leo XIV has called on public and private institutions to prioritize the protection and dignity of underage migrants. In a message for the 112th World Day of Migrants and Refugees, the Pontiff urged the adoption of effective legal instruments to promote family reunification and prevent the trauma of separation. He emphasized that displaced children should not be reduced to statistics, noting that many face indescribable violence or extreme conditions during their journeys.

The Pope stated that action is required in countries of origin to eliminate the causes forcing children to flee, as well as in transit and destination countries to ensure proper welcome and protection. He further noted that the responsibility for these children should not fall solely on specialized organizations, but should be shared by the entire Christian community. While both reports agree on the Pope's core demands, a center left source highlighted his specific calls for measures against trafficking, exploitation, and guaranteed access to education.
