  • 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.

The 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks is being observed. One account features Kylie Tam, a 20 year old student from San Francisco visiting Ground Zero in New York. Tam notes that a friend of her parents avoided being on one of the hijacked planes because he overslept. At Ground Zero, two large basins with waterfalls serve as memorials to the destroyed towers.
