- 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.

Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the 11th Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok from September 1 to 4, where he described the Asia-Pacific region as a powerful growth hub for the global economy.
