- 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.

Additional rain and possible flooding are forecast for Sunday. While a center leaning outlet focused on the record breaking nature of the rainfall, a left leaning outlet emphasized the issuance of flood warnings.
