- 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.

Ricky Martin presented the film 'Hombre al Agua' at the Venice Film Festival on Sunday. The movie was directed by Gael García Bernal, who also co wrote the script with Argentine playwright Mariano Pensotti. Martin served as both a producer and an actor in the production, marking his first time as part of a film cast at the Venice festival at age 54.
'Hombre al Agua' follows the story of Camilo, a Cuban lifeguard who saves a wealthy Mexican businessman from drowning. The businessman offers Camilo a job at his factory in Yucatán, and Camilo eventually marries the man's daughter, only to discover that his new life is not what it seems. Martin plays a small role as an actor hired to portray the protagonist in a biopic. The film was screened out of competition in the Spotlight parallel section.
During interviews, Martin expressed deep gratitude toward García Bernal and described the experience as a significant milestone for his professional legacy and his children. He noted that he has been in front of cameras since age 12 but considers this specific achievement wonderful. The production also features Natalia Oreiro, Debora Nascimento, Esmeralda Pimentel, Jorge Salinas, and Manuel García Rulfo.
