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 South Korea.

President Lee Jae Myung called for large scale strategic investments in future industries during a Cabinet meeting in Sejong on Tuesday. The president identified small modular reactors, renewable energy, aerospace, quantum computing, and advanced biology as key sectors essential for securing global leadership. He stated that investment in these areas should be as intensive as the current megaprojects focused on semiconductors and artificial intelligence facilities.

During the meeting, President Lee also emphasized the importance of balanced regional development to address disparities in real estate and education caused by the concentration of population in the Seoul capital area. He ordered officials to accelerate the construction of a presidential office and a branch of the National Assembly in Sejong to further establish the city as a central pillar of state administration.
