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 underwent a successful ablation procedure on Tuesday morning at Spire Manchester Hospital to correct a heart rhythm disorder. The club stated the operation was a complete success and that the 29 year old Scotland international will rest for two weeks before resuming training. The procedure followed the discovery of a mild benign arrhythmia after McTominay was substituted during Napoli's 2 to 1 defeat by Como on 30 August. The former Manchester United player is expected to miss Scotland's Nations League fixtures against Slovenia, Switzerland, and North Macedonia. He will also miss Napoli's Champions League match against Arsenal on Wednesday. While one source notes that McTominay has been a key player for Napoli since joining in 2024, it also suggests he was off form during the opening two Serie A games.
