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.

Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay will undergo a surgical procedure to treat a mild benign arrhythmia. The 29 year old was substituted after 56 minutes during Napoli's 2-1 defeat to Como on Sunday. Napoli announced that the corrective treatment will take place in the coming days. The club expects McTominay to return to playing after the international break in early October. This timeline means he is likely to miss four Nations League games for Scotland against Slovenia, North Macedonia, and Switzerland. The procedure is described as a cardiac arrhythmia ablation, which one source specifies as a pulsed field ablation. McTominay, who joined Napoli from Manchester United, previously helped Napoli win the title in 2025 and has earned 73 caps for Scotland.
