- 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.

A strike by railway personnel is affecting services across Italy and is scheduled to continue until 9:00 PM tonight. The industrial action involves staff from Gruppo FS, Trenitalia, Italo, Trenord, and Tper. In Milan, numerous cancellations were reported at the Centrale station, while Bologna experienced delays and cancellations on regional lines, particularly on the Porretta to Pianoro route. At Roma Termini, the strike resulted in long queues at ticket offices and customer assistance points as staff worked to support travelers. An additional strike by the Usb union for railway personnel was scheduled from 9:00 AM to 4:59 PM today. Essential services for regional transport were guaranteed during the windows of 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Passengers were informed that they could request refunds or reschedule their trips depending on the type of train service. The strike was called by several autonomous unions, including Sgb and Cub, to demand contract renewals.
