- 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.
Low water levels in the Danube River have caused various objects and vessels to emerge from the riverbed. In Serbia, approximately 20 Nazi shipwrecks from the Second World War have reappeared near the town of Prahovo. These vessels were sunk by the retreating Nazi army at the end of the war and became visible as the river reached historic lows. In another area, the passenger ship Gloria recently ran aground near Gönyű before successfully departing the riverbed on a Sunday morning. While some observers have noted the natural beauty of newly emerged islands, others have highlighted signs of human environmental destruction, including poisoning. Reports also mention people clubbing along the receding shoreline.
