- 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.

President Lee Jae Myung called for swift measures on Monday to minimize damage caused by torrential rains in South Korea's southern region. The call follows heavy downpours in South Gyeongsang Province, including Geoje, which began over the weekend and triggered a landslide that killed one resident. In a post on X, President Lee expressed concern for the affected areas and urged relevant ministries and local authorities to mobilize all available resources. He offered condolences for the deceased resident and stated that preventing further damage must be the top priority. Additionally, he warned that elevated river levels could pose risks even after the rain stops, calling for preemptive action.
