- 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.

Rangers defeated Czech side Jablonec 1-0 in the first leg of their Conference League playoff tie at Ibrox. Ryan Naderi scored the winning goal in the 50th minute. The match was marked by a red card issued to Rangers substitute Cammy Devlin in the 78th minute following a high tackle on Jiri Slama. The first half ended goalless and was met with boos from the crowd at the interval.
Reporting on the match differed in tone between sources. A center leaning outlet described the performance as a stodgy banquet of huff and puff and an eyesore. This report criticized the team for lacking creativity and questioned the effectiveness of the club's recent spending under Andrew Cavenagh. Conversely, a center left leaning outlet described the victory as unconvincing but focused on the broader context of the European playoffs. This source noted that manager Derek McInnes had previously secured a 5-1 win against St Mirren on Sunday.
