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.

Children have returned to school in the Democratic Republic of Congo while concerns over Ebola grow. In the DRC, more than 6,000 cases have been recorded and deaths have passed the 3,000 mark.
